I'm currently the unhappiest I've been in 9 years. I'm going through a break-up right now (3 and a bit years). We are separating amickably due to differing directions of life. She wants kids - I don't think I do. I'm not 100% certain, but it's not the sort of thing you can go into half-hearted so my choice is to let her go to follow her true calling - She was BORN to be a mother.
I'm dealing with the break-up ok, but the thing that's breaking me at the moment is mostly work. It's just not where I feel like I'm meant to be. Every day, I feel like I want it to be my last one there. I guess I have the hope that some day it'll change and all be great, similar to what we feel in a bad relationship. Thing is, at the moment with employment prospects so bleak, I don't feel like I can go anywhere. There are options out there, but as I'm thinking of buying a house, I have to keep the banks happy and show stable employment.
Conundrum.
Not meaning to hijack here, but just to show that you're not alone, Rob.
Last time I left a long-term relationship, it had just fizzled. There wasn't really anyone doing the wrong thing, but starting the ball rolling and eventually getting out was the best move I ever made.
