very conflicted
Hi everyone.
I am struggling with some of my thoughts lately. I am not longer attracted to my bf, physically or emotionally... I still care about him as a friend and want the best for him. I want to leave the relationship but it is so hard because I am scared that I will fail financially and I haven't lived on my own in 10+ years. Next month we'll be together 10 years.
Another thing I'm conflicted about is that we have 3 cats together. The oldest cat is the one that I brought into the relationship, one we raised from a kitten and the last we sort of adopted from the outside. The outside cat I took to all her dr appts for check ups, shots, and to get her fixed.
I am sure that I can't/won't take all 3 with, but definitely the oldest one. I am just not sure what to do because I really feel like I would be leaving my children behind and I worry about making the cats depressed in my absence (they are momma's girls!).
I just know that I will be happier on my own. When I think about the future I want for myself, I see me doing things on my own and not with a partner. I'd greatly appreciate any thoughts or if anyone can relate to my situation. Also, any tips on how to end or cope with ending a long-term relationship.
Thanks for listening!
