Ending my relationship.

[lj19989]

I guess I’m looking for advice rather than anything. I’ve been with my current partner 5 years. We have a 2 year old daughter and have lived together since day 1 ( I fled my past relationship) times gone on and this relationship just isn’t anything anymore. All we do is argue. I’m always depressed. I have taken time to talk to him about this but nothing changes and I think it’s time it comes to an end. The only thing I’m worried about is leaving. We’re both on the tenancy but neither of us have anywhere to go. No close friends or family. So I’ve no idea what to even do in these circumstances I guess I’m looking for advice. Thank you

I am just wondering 🤔 if you both explored good enough therapy sessions

would it be worth salvaging your relationship in any way?

Would he be interested in this idea too and be supportive
or
just a lost cause?

Just thinking having an outside independent person such as a therapist ,
maybe give you both fresh perspectives on your relationship

Obviously if your relationship is abusive in any way
It's for best to lay the relationship to rest

as life is too short to put up with crap like that...

Normally I'd say to look for a roomshare (spareroom) but that might not be so easy with a kid. But maybe you could find someone renting an anex over their garage or something.

Just be careful to only move in with women. Ideally women who won't bring men back (eg: older unmarried and 'done with men')

Alternatively , look into caravan or houseboat rentals?

Or if your current place has a spare room, you could stay and rent it out. Or even if the kitchen access is through the hall instead of the lounge, you could convert the lounge into a bedroom and rent that. In/near cities it'll still get snapped up. Set the rule that no male guests are allowed.

Get cms in place as soon as possible. And claim single person discount on council tax if you're ever the only adult in a property.

You gotta think about you and the kid first and foremost. He'll be fine. He can rent a room somewhere easily, no one ever expects men to bring the kid with them.
