Been with partner about 10 years and things haven't been great for a while.
Very little in common anymore, not interested in each others hobbies and both busy in work.
Partner will fall asleep and ignore my calls then does not listen when I explain how it makes me feel. Arguments go unresolved because we don't understand each others perspective.
I don't want to start over. No kids, nothing to show for the relationship. How to decide what to do? Both mid 30's and feel I've thrown life away. Can't even afford to live alone. Feeling life is a bit pointless and sometimes wonder if life is even worth it.

You decide its what you want to d0 and then make whatever plans you need to to achieve it.
Sometimes, even just being in the planning stage can help it feel.less hopeless.
But mainly, when you think about your life in 1, 2, 5, 10 years time, do you want it to look like it does now or not? Decide what you do want it to look like and then make that happen.
That's literally how you do it. There is no other way.
