Stay or leave 8 year relationship

[CoffeeCupz]

I'm 26 nearly 27, no marriage or children, rented lovley house. I feel the longer we are together the more incompatibilities are showing, I love cooking he has little interest, I enjoy horror films he is more grounded on factual/ historical stuff. I am morning person and he likes to sleep in well past 12pm midday ( gets me really angry) he stays awake through the night on his days of from work on YouTube then I wake up at 7am he still not been to sleep. I'm left waiting for him to wake up on my day off, I do love him still and enjoy cuddling being together the thought of me leaving sends pain through me and brings me to tears but part me wonders if I could look back on my life and regret it if I stay could I be wasting years?? Where am I getting this anxiety from about the relationship?? Has anyone been in a similar position??

Please help with advice X

Apart from the sleeping issue, the rest sound like very minor issues to me. My fiancee and I enjoy different things (she’s into sports, I hate them, she likes watching historical documentaries, I don’t like them, I like to watch trash tv, she hates it etc). As long as you have enough common interests you can enjoy together or the interests you don’t share don’t take up a huge amount of your time, then I think that’s fine.

The sleeping in vs early bird thing is more of an issue, but surely you could both compromise? He gets to lie in but only until 9?

Do you think you might have just fallen out of love and are looking for excuses to end it? There’s nothing wrong with that, it’s natural if you’ve been with someone from a young age, but ending a 7 year relationship because he doesn’t like horror films seems a bit extreme you know?

You've been together since you were 18?
I think you've just grown apart.

I know what your saying it's just other things aswell we seem be bickering quite a lot these past few months and just gets me thinking I quess :/ and I don't think iv fallen out of love just seems now I'm older that start to question it all.... It's also our sex life seems to be lacking and is mostly me who initiates anything and I do still want sex with him it's just not really that good when it happens, not sure what to think just need advice I quess and scared if I look back at my life that's this will be as good as it gets and il never get the time back, ( grass is greener type thing) :/ xx

Sounds like youve grown apart. Time to spread your wings op. And find a more compatible man.

You were still kids when you started dating. You are a grown woman now. Maybe even getting to an age of wanting to have kids.

Time to close this book and go to the library to check a new one out. Or several 😉
