Are we going nowhere?

QI’ve been with my partner for 8 years. But our relationship hasn’t moved forward at all.

I live with my children from a previous partner and my boyfriend used to stay over a lot, but he hardly ever comes over since COVID-19.

I don’t see us ever progressing – is it just too late?

AIt sounds to me like this bloke is allowed to dip in and out of your life when it suits him.

Well, relationships aren’t like that. They’re supposed to be 50/50, give and take.

Where’s his love and support for you? It doesn’t sound to me like he’s bringing much to the table at all.

I reckon if you were to end the relationship, you wouldn’t even miss him. It may sound harsh, but ask yourself if you’d even notice the difference.
