Hey Guest_342,
I hear you. Thank you so much for sharing your experience here, I know how frustrating it can be when you're in a relationship that you've grown out of emotionally. I remember in my last relationship, there came to a point where I was becoming irritated with some of my partner's jokes and quirks a lot more readily than I usually would. I've now recognised that this is a sign in any relationship that there may be underlying points that need to be addressed.
Firstly, I would encourage you to acknowledge what your needs are in a relationship. Whether these are emotional, physical, etc., it is important to note what you value most in a relationship, and whether or not these are being met for you currently.
I think that in this situation, communication is very important. I would have a chat with your partner about how you are feeling, and establish if there is anything that could perhaps be fixed with discussion or compromise. At the end of the day, the only person who knows what's best for you is yourself, which sounds a lot easier said than done, I know.
Make sure that you're taking good care of yourself during this time as well. If you feel comfortable reaching out to other loved ones (friends or family), it can be helpful to have a third party who knows you well to be able to chat to and receive advice from if needed. Have you ever talked to a GP, psychologist, counsellor, or therapist? They may be able to offer you some professional advice on managing any feelings of stress or anxiety that may arise from this situation.
I hope this is helpful, please continue to chat with us if you'd like as we're here to support you.
Take care, SB
