Been with BF for almost three years - we each have 2DCs from our previous relationships (him divorced, me abusive ex)
On the surface, I’d say we have a good relationship - spend time together both with and without DCs, go on holiday together, etc.
My struggle starts when I start to think more deeply about the relationship. BF doesn’t like to think about the future or make plans, whereas I struggle with living day to day without thought. I think this is partly due to my ongoing mental health struggle - I’ve had bouts of anxiety and depression since my twenties and am currently going through a low, contemplative period.
I don’t know if it’s just because of this that I’m feeling unsettled and somewhat unsatisfied in my relationship at the moment - do I just let things lie for the time being and see how they go? How long do I ‘bumble along’ for?
