I would really be grateful if people could share their breakup stories and experiences, specifically from those that have ended longer term relationships with their partner when there wasn't really any issue...other than that you did not feel the same anymore and felt it was the right time for you to leave.

e.g. you felt you had maybe changed for the better and your partner still holds on to old ways, you don't feel a connection anymore, you've changed since you were teenagers etc.

I feel terrible and I know that this sounds horribly cold. I feel terrible about how I'm feeling at the moment and I still want to try and save our relationship but I'm just not sure that will be possible. We live together and so this is another factor. We have no children.

My partner can be insensitive and slightly cold at times but in general he is a good man but he is highly dependent on me emotionally. I honestly don't know if I could ever end the relationship, but I wanted to hear from some of you who have ended relationships for these reasons and how you went about it.

Thank you in advance

I was with my exh a long time. Knew things weren't right for several years and clung on for the wrong reasons

I think if it's definitely what you want and can't be resolved you just need to bite the billet and spit it out. Once it's said there's no going back.

We're not on this planet long, sometimes you just need to pull your pants up, straighten yourself and take a big breath

Writing this with the kindness of intentions for Mumsnet

I think it really won’t help you to hear stories that may or may not apply to your situation. I mean... you haven’t even defined your situation.

These stories that people share here would be out of actual connection and to help or comfort.

I don’t have the premium features but are you a regular here? There are MANY “news outlets” who come here for their story fodder...

With much respect can you write more about your actual situation?

Why do you think YOU have fallen out of love?

What do you mean by emotionally dependent?

Why would these stories help you?

I am so sorry if you are genuine... and if you are you won’t take offense because you’ll logically know that what I am writing is true.

Share a bit more about why you need these stories since in your own words it is highly unlikely that you’d leave your own relationship?

Also if you’re on the real, you won’t mind sharing your situation in detail after asking others to do so.

Truly just looking out
