Just don't know what to do.

Struggling with my relationships. I have split recently with my partner of two years. My friends don't like him. If I get back with him they aren't happy. If I stay separated from him then he's not happy.

I don't know what to do.

I know that but I cant decide. One day I'm certain I'll end it with him. Then the next day I don't.

There's usually a pretty good reason why friends don't like a partner.

Yes I know it's a red flag that they don't like him.

Friends usually care that you are happy.

A partner is more likely to want you to make him happy.

Does he care wether he make you happy?

Youve made the split, stop feeling guilty and give yourself more time to work out what makes you feel good about yourself.

Friends have your best interests at heart. Hes probably a wrong un. If you've split there's a reason for that - do your self a favour and don't get sucked back in.
