Time to leave?

TemperateRainforest August 22nd, 2023

i love my boyfriend a lot, we’ve been together 4 years, but the other half of me doesn’t love him. Some abuse happened at the start of our relationship I never got over and I don’t find him attractive anymore. It’s confusing because I love him so much, I depend on him. Staying with him would mean owning a house and having a retirement, I should be ecstatic. That abuse just never leaves me though… it’s always in the back of my head I can’t forgive the situation. Im terrified to leave, but part of me really really wants to know what it’s like to be loved by someone who never abused me.

The sides are confusing and many people have been or are in similar situations

on one side you have financial security and home all the things people should be happy about and grateful

but i can tell you the other side you can not put a price on.....

it is a miserable way to live when the attraction and such is gone faking it only lasts for so long and in the end you are lying not to him but yourself....
