Personally for me it was realizing how much love comes in different forms (parents, siblings, friends...etc) and above all loving yourself enough to be comfortable in being single is one of them. I know its hard since you have gotten used to being with this special person but you got to realize, you are one great amazing sweet human being. You are going to find someone even better for you than those of your past. :) you got this! Keep doing you and focusing on yourself and what makes you happy, free and full of life and it will all fall into place! :)

What I think you s h o u l d do is just break up. If you don't feel right with this person or feel like you two just need a break then tell the person you want to break up with that! Trust me, I had to break up with my boyfriend because he was going to break up with me a week after I broke up with him. That was almost a year ago and I found another person that I love being in relationship with! No matter what, even if you don't want to, put yourself before others. There are some exceptions. But in this case, care for your feelings. Tell that person you need a break.

Of the 7 billion people on this earth, the most important person who needs to love you is you. If that is the case, others will follow. Love yourself enough to quit a relationship that does not make you happy. You will be a better and stronger person. When you are kind to yourself and learn how to build yourself up you will also learn to see that you are worthy of love and that a lot of people already care about you. You are going to be an awesome person who builds other people up as well and who has tons of people in his life that love you. It is going to be amazing. Love yourself first. Choose yourself.

I commend you for reaching out; it is a hard thing to do, and lots of people have a hard time taking that first step. If you are in a relationship that is unhealthy for you, you should not feel like you ever have to settle. If someone tells you that you need them, or should be dependent on them, know that is a form of manipulation to get you to stay, and you should not have to give in to that. That's not what love should be. I wish you luck in finding all the happiness you deserve.

No one should be afraid that no one will ever love them sooner or later. Love comes with a price and if you think it won’t work fine now, be honest and tell your partner why. Speak and communicate. Don’t worry much being single. Someone right there will come whenever you are ready and maturer to handle your relationship well. And when the time comes, love will come to you freely without you making a hard time considering if you want to break up or fearing no one will ever love you the same way your partner did today.

Wanting to break up usually implies that the current relationship causes serious distress and overall discontentment. If your partner makes you feel these negative feelings, does he really love you? We don't want to harm people we love, quite the opposite - we want to help them and encourage them and make them feel well (as much as we are able to). If your partner truly loves you, perhaps switching partners will not be the answer, because other people aren't really able to solve our problems (maybe only a few superficial and technical issues on some occasions); the path to happiness isn't to be found in other people's actions or thoughts but in our own hearts and minds (surely others may help us better understand ourselves/relieve stress but only a very tiny fraction of the splution depends on them).

If you want to break up, you want to break up. Your answer is there! If something is off or you know your heart is not in it, you're only holding yourself back by staying in that relationship. It's totally normal to fear that no one will love you again and obviously none of us can predict the future! But by facing pain in the sort term and ending your current relationship, you're opening up yourself to so many more happier possibilities in the future. If you want to break up and only delay that process to the future, it will only hurt more and you will have wasted that time that you could've spent moving on and finding someone new.

It is scary to take a big step in our life, breaking up is one of the examples. It's not easy and should not be handled with recklessness. I see that you have some signs of loneliness and anxiety about the future. Friend, I held on to be with my abusive ex for 5 years because I was scared to be alone forever. However, life is not always about romantic love. You will find a lot of adventures, strong friendships, new interests when you start focusing on yourself. First, ask yourself why do you want to break up or write it down the pros and the cons of that relationship. Secondly, take sometime for yourself to make that decision. Finally, do your decision! I'm not saying it'll be easy, but I promise you it'll be fine after awhile. Best of luck!

First and foremost you have to love yourself so you cant say anyone would never love you again. Once you love your self you will be content with just that and will not need love from someone else to make you feel whole. its natural to be scared but don't stay with someone just because you feel you wont find anyone else. there is a reason you want to break up with your partner and if you stay out of fear then ultimately you may never be happy. no one wants to be miserable and its actually not fair to your partner to stay because of that reason.

If you don't feel happy or comfortable in your relationship no more, you should get out of there. And this is not only for you: you too have the responsibility to be honest with the other person, no one deserves to be with someone who is in the relationship because they don't want to be alone. I have felt this a few times in my life, and I had cross a few breakups that have been hard and painful. But there are some things you have to know: 1. You will always find someone who will love you again. Life is full of changes, surprises and opportunities, and even when you feel this way today, tomorrow can always be better. 2. You are enough by yourself, you don't need someone to love you. I really believe you have an important work to do with your self love and esteem. It is really good to have someone that loves and cares about you, but the most important thing is that you have to love yourself. When you do, you realize that it doesn't matter if nobody's loves you (as a couple) at the time, because you don't need that to be someone in life. You're worthy by yourself.
