Hi , I've been with my partner 25 years and we've been going through some bad times this last couple of years.
It's got to the point where I was going to move out a couple of weeks ago. My partner started crying and said he was depressed, so I felt terrible and said I would stay, he said he would get counselling which he's in the process of sorting. He's just carrying on like everything is fine, I'm so confused because nothing has really changed between us , I still think leaving is a better option but he's told me that because we're not married and my name isn't on the mortgage, that I'm not entitled to anything, this really annoyed me has I've put my career on hold to bring up our son and could only go back part time to work so my pension etc isn't great.
I just don't know if I can live with a man who I think doesn't see me has his equal , I feel like im a lodger and it's not my home anymore.
