Breakups and Divorces • guardiansky60 • 11d ago

I'm a 30-year-old man considering ending my relationship with my 32-year-old girlfriend after seven months together.

Hey everyone, long-time listener, first-time caller. I've known my girlfriend (32) for several years. She moved to another state with her then-boyfriend, but about a year after their breakup, we started talking and things quickly became serious. After reconnecting and chatting for a few months, I made the decision to move 14 hours away to be with her. At first, everything seemed great, but lately I've been feeling unhappy and unsure of what to do. I sacrificed a lot—missed major life events back home, left family and friends behind, and gave up a good job to be with her. In the past seven months, we've had about two arguments a month, often ending with me being kicked out of bed. One significant fight happened over her birthday cake. I tried to surprise her after a long workday, but it didn’t turn out well. While I tried to laugh it off, she slammed a door in my face, and I ended up sleeping on the floor during our move. Another argument arose over my finances. I enjoy gaming occasionally, but I’ve barely been able to since moving. Recently, I also faced the cold shoulder for a day just because I messed up the cats’ breakfast routine. Visiting home briefly intensified these feelings. We talked about both moving back, but it felt more like a way to appease me than a mutual decision. Right now, I just feel unhappy, and even simple things like cuddling don't seem to help. What would you do in my situation? Thank you in advance.

Hey there! First, I’m really sorry to hear you’re feeling this way. Relationships can be tough, especially after big sacrifices. It’s essential to prioritize your happiness. Consider having an open conversation with her about how you’re feeling. If things don't improve, it might be time to reevaluate what’s best for both of you. Take care!

It sounds like you’ve given a lot for this relationship, and it’s tough when it doesn’t feel right anymore. Communication is key! Share your feelings honestly with her—your struggles, your sacrifices, and ask if she's truly committed. It’s okay to prioritize your happiness. Trust your gut; sometimes, taking a step back is the best step forward.
