The story

I've been in a relationship for 3 years and in like the last year, I've had feelings of regret more often. We have pur good moments and bad like normal relationships. But when we fight or have a disagreement and he's upset, for some topics I just can't understand his perspective. I understand being upset that's perfectly okay but it gets dragged out and I end up feeling dead inside. I can't help but think that I wouldn't have to go through this if I was single. But I can't exactly break up with him because he is a good person and he loves me a lot. I just can't shake off the regret feeling. I don't know if I'm overthinking and I should just ignore the feeling or bury it

sounds like you're in a bit of a pickle having feelings of regret can be tough 😕 it's normal to have ups and downs in a relationship but when disagreements linger it can be draining maybe you're feeling a bit suffocated by those lingering arguments feeling like breaking free might ease things 🤔 love is great but it's essential to also enjoy being in it if these feelings persist it might be worth gently exploring them further 🧠 ultimately it's about what makes you happy and fulfilled hoping you find clarity on your journey 🌼

Thank you 😊

It is a bit suffocating because I don't really have anyone to talk to. And I can't talk to him directly because he won't understand and he gets very sensitive. He needs me and I don't want to hurt him.

it's cool that he loves you but… you're the one living this reality! If you are like that after 3 years relationship, how do you see all the next years/decades??


wishing you the best in figuring it out 🌟

hey you know what its completely fine to feel exhausted at some point, sometimes you should prioritize yourself too! maybe try taking a break for the better of you and the relationship

sounds like ur kinda caught in a loop but have u really thought this through buddy as they say "the grass isn't always greener" being single won't magically fix those feelings bro; i get feeling trapped but just cuz u fight sometimes doesn't mean it's not worth it have u tried communicating better instead of just feeling dead inside 🤔 i once felt stuck too but we talked it out and things got better don't jump ship without a clear plan u sure it's not just a phase
