Reply To: Prolonging the inevitable

Correction* I’ve been in this relationship for almost two and a half years, not that it necessarily matters. I greatly appreciate everyone’s replies. I tend to ignore red flags and stick around sometimes even when I know there is no future. I don’t know why I do this to myself or my daughter, but I know I need to stop. It’s definitely easier said than done… I will most likely move out of our shared apartment this week. At first, I felt okay but now I’m starting to feel more emotional. It was my choice though. Deep down I know he is not the right guy for me and deep down I knew I didn’t see a future with him. We did have some good moments and he actually used to be nice and romantic… He has probably been the best out of all guys I’ve been with in that sense. He treated me differently at one point and we got to do a lot of new things. I can’t believe I was settling for guys like my previous partners. I’d still be settling now though… This isn’t quite the relationship I want. That’s what I believe I try to hold onto. The good moments… but they’re long gone.
