Breaking it off

[Ilovetheseventies]

Has anyone had a relationship where they just thought they couldn't break it off but managed to.
I'm almost 55 my DP is lovely but it just isn't right. When we've had time apart I've missed him so much and got so anxious that the separation hasn't lasted five minutes.
My anxiety over this is through the roof. I love him and can't imagine a life without him but at the same time I am miserable.
Would anything from my GP help me to get over the hurdle of this?
I think the menopause is making me feel so pathetic and feeble.

Whats making you miserable OP? What is fundamentally wrong with the relationship? I found therapy to help me untangle the connection with an ex and stay away. The first month is always the worst. If you stay no contact for a month I found it got a lot better.

Sorry for late reply. Too much anxiety. I also think he has changed. He was needing more reassurance now it's me. I feel as if I'm going mad. It's a long story.
I'm not sure if it's me being anxious, him. Either way I can't live my life like this.
I haven't felt like this before.

@Ilovetheseventies I can't advise on relationships, but please look into help with the menopause. A good place to start is Dr Louise Newson - search for My Menopause Doctor. Her YouTube and podcasts are great. Most GP s seem to give outdated advice on HRT ; unless you're in a high risk group, the long term health benefits of HRT are considerable.
I'll be following your thread. I think a loving relationship is a very precious thing, but my exH was not a team player and I was miserable for years. Could never bring myself to walk. Now I long for true closeness again. Good luck.
