i made a confession on here already, and someone replied saying that it sounds like i've fallen out of love with my partner. i still harbor some love for them, it's just that they make me more sad than happy. i've thought about ending the relationship multiple times now, but there is always something stopping me. the main thing being that they've lost so much in life already, i don't want to add another thing to the list. they've told me multiple times throughout the years that i'm one of their main reasons for staying strong. what if when i leave, they do something to themselves? i don't want to be the reason for a pain that strong. they have a history of attempts and sh, they've sent me more "i love you" texts before attempting than they've said those words to me in general. i'm at a lost on what to do, i've been at a lost for a while now. my friend keeps telling me to leave them already, but i'm scared. this is my first long term relationship, even if it feels more like a long term friendship. i really don't want to add to the hurt they carry with themselves everyday, but i want to stop crying over this failed relationship that i don't feel satisfied in.
