What do I do?
Relationship Stress / by Sapphorion

...See more I don't know what to do... I've been married to my partner for 4 years and I just don't feel it anymore. Everyday is hard. Everyday there's an argument. There's nothing special or romantic or fun. It's always just about them and I feel like I'm just dragging along because I care more about hurting the kids than my partner and they aren't even my kids. I'm terrified to say this to my partner as well because of the huge change in life and I don't know if I'll be able to actually get through it if we break up. I just don't know what to do. I feel very much like the frog in hot water but I just don't have the energy to swim or change anymore. I'm lost and I just want to feel loved again. Feel excited about my relationship again...
I'm scared and frustrated *trigger warning*

...See more *Trigger warning : Abusive relationship* My partner and my arguments have escalated to the point that I'm afraid I may actually physically harm her. I feel so frustrated by everything because I feel as though I'm trying my best to be a good partner and parent to her biological children but I also feel like she doesn't care about anyone but herself. Today as an example, we woke up and without even saying good morning or even hi, she just instantly started moaning at me. This afternoon again for the 4th day in a row, she was screaming at me. I got so frustrated and I screamed back. But the part that terrifies me is that I want to hit her to make her stop. And I don't mean slap. I mean hit. Hard. And to make matters worse, her previous relationship was physically abusive and I am now relating to that person. I know it's wrong. I don't want to hurt her. I actually love her. I'm completely dedicated to her. I just feel so frustrated at being screamed at all the time. Being blamed all the time. I don't know what to do...
Am I in the wrong?

...See more My partner and I have been married for 3 going on 4 years. She came into the relationship with kids and I, having none, have taken them as my own. Their father is a no show and he's got his new little family blooming somewhere else. He's cut the youngest off and the oldest is trying to connect but he isn't interested, so I decided to step up. Something they seem to care a bit about is having something when their biological parents pass away. Their mom, my wife, doesn't have much in terms of assets or policies. I, on the other hand, do and I've decided to have that be the kids inheritance. On top of that, I was struggling to find a job a few years ago so I, along with my wife's support, started a company. It's 2.5 years later and we are expanding. Both kids have a say and a job in the business. My wife as well. And when I pass, the business goes to the kids. That is my intention. For them and my wife to have something to fall back on, should something happen to me. Fast forward to my issue. I've never raised or spent time around small children. The business we have revolves around small children and I was left to babysit yesterday afternoon. Needles to say, some things went wrong, the one child broke a glass but with no injuries, the other put paint on a table cloth and somewhere along the line, someone broke the hand soap dispenser. I honestly tried my best, but my wife spent about 2 hours screaming at me about it. Telling me I'm incompetent and stupid. I admittedly list my temper after the 15th time of her calling me stupid and slapped her hand. Now, she wants a break from our relationship, she wants nothing to do with me and says she hates me. Is upset with me because she isn't living in the town she wants to live in or travel as much as she wants, but we can't afford it because the business is still growing and it takes a lot. Am I in the wrong to be upset about her treatment of me? Am I missing some kind of point? I just don't know anymore. The opening of the one section yesterday was meant to be a celebration and an achievement but I feel like she's ruined it all for me because of her reaction to a table cloth and soap dispenser....
I don't know which way to turn

...See more Hello, I don't know what to do anymore. I feel like my partner isn't supporting me emotionally but still wants to be intimate and physical. I can't do that if I don't feel emotionally fulfilled too. When I bring it up, it turns into a "then leave" situation. Like last night, I said "I'm tired of feeling like I'm a disappointment and problem to you." and the instant response was "then leave. You know where the door is." I don't know how to deal with that and I don't know if I want to leave and even if I did, the family I've created is the only family and support I have. I have zero friends and such a low self esteem it's actually quite pathetic. Just lost and don't know anymore...

...See more Hi, I've joined 7cups for a few reasons. I (31f) just feel so lonely, even though I'm married to a great person, I'm lonely. I have zero friends or other relationships and I'm desperate for some kind of interaction. I miss conversations and someone just caring without it turning into something else, you know? Anyone else in the same boat?

...See more I, (31F), am married to my partner (48F) for 3 years now and I feel like I'm in this relationship alone. I feel so inadequate and I've been feeling like I'm just around for convenience rather than love. I also feel like I'm being manipulated, like she just tells me she loves me so I stay or just to keep me quiet. I have no friends or family to turn to because it always turns into a jealousy thing but she's got a new friend who she talks to constantly and I can't say anything about it. I've also been having dreams and thoughts of how different it would be if I were alone because then maybe I wouldn't feel so lonely. I'm sorry if this is more of a rant than anything else, I just don't know what to do anymore and I'm so tired of feeling this way. I just really need a friend or something.

...See more I'm 30F and I'm really battling my depression. I'm in a 3 year relationship but I just feel like she's not seeing me. I feel like I'm blamed for everything and most of the time I am. No matter what it is. I feel like I'm not respected and appreciated at all. I don't know what to do about it anymore. I'm tired of trying.
