The lesser of two evils

[DustyLee123]

I’ve been unhappy with DH for some years now. Had the talk and he promised to change, lasted 4 days, back to the usual.
But I know that I wouldn’t be happy if we split either. If I stay I’ve got financial security and I’m not alone. If I end it I’m stuffed financially and I’ll be alone. The feminist in me wants to end it and control my own life, but there’s a niggling doubt.
It’s easy to say you’ll make friends, but I know I won’t as it’s hard at this age, and I’d have them now if I could.
I wish it was an easy decision!

If I stay I’ve got financial security and I’m not alone

I think you already are alone.

At least if you split you’ll have the time & freedom & inclination to make new friends.

You are not happy. Why spend the rest of your life unhappy & deny yourself the chance to be happy & free. Finance isn’t everything. Happiness is. The niggling doubt is fear of the unknown. Do not let your fear hold you back. Or you will be stuck in this unhappy place forever, stifling your soul, mind and heart.

You know in your heart what the right thing to do is.
