Relationship Break

[pinklotus27]

My partner of nearly five years decided that he wants to take a break. I moved in with him into his unit after a  couple of years being together and now he has asked me to move out because he wants to live alone. He does not know if he wants to stay in a relationship with me. He wants to be alone right now. I know the reason why he decided this and it is partly my fault. I told him that I am going to work on my issues but he does not know if we continue to live together the same issues will keep re-ocurring. I am sad as we have built a life together. We have a pet dog that we have had since she was a puppy. Now that I have moved out I live further away from my job and may need to find a new job. I need to give him the space he wants and respect his decision but I miss him and our home and keep messaging and calling him. I do not want to lose him but I feel like I am.

I'm truly sorry to hear that you're going through such a challenging time. It must be incredibly difficult to navigate these changes, especially when they involve such a significant relationship and shared life. It takes a lot of courage to acknowledge and work on personal issues, and I admire your commitment to self-improvement. Giving your partner the space they've requested is undoubtedly a tough step, and it's clear that you're grappling with the emotions tied to the situation. It just sounds as that at the moment wants to be alone, and what tomorrow, or next week or month looks is ????

When you said that he want to bel alone, did he set any timeframe? 

Do you have any family or friends that you can talk about this and perhaps get advice?

While it's natural to miss what you've built together, one thing you could consider is taking time to focus on your own growth and healing. Listening...
