So after a lot of deep thinking Ive finally put my big girls pants on & finished with my boyfriend. Feeling sad because he is such a nice guy, but never stood up for what he wanted & preferred to moan about it. We've had issues with ex wife & forever changing days that he has the kids ( I posted about this last year & should have taken mumsnet advice) I have recently been told that I need an operation & have been in considerable pain for 7 months. It has stopped me from being active as before. He has commented that he has become depressed since we haven't been doing our usual activities. I did reply that's why he needs hobbies & to connect with friends; He can't rely on me to entertain him. I suppose Ive just realised that he wanted me as an emotional prop & now that Ive run out of steam physically & mentally it's gone tits up.
I know it's the right thing to have done, but feel so sad that potentially we could have had such an amazing relationship if he'd have had more backbone. There are other things that were problematic, but the post will be too long
