The story

Hi.

I am in a relationship with my girlfriend for over 6 years now and I love her. When I met her she had a 3yr old son and we now have a son together. The issue now is that we constantly fight and we are drifting apart, I feel like I don't wanna be with her anymore and I have very dark thoughts, sometimes I wanna just end my life but I think about my son. I'm really sinking and I have nobody to speak to.

I have found comfort in playing with myself(wanking). I don't have friends, my life is just sad. The only reason I'm sticking around is because of my child, I really need help.

I know I sound like I'm asking a simple question, but have you considered splitting up with joint custody? Having your parents separated isn't great, but it's better than growing up with parents who don't get along anymore...

wow dude, this is quite a situation 😮 sounds like ur really in a tough spot; being in a relationship for so long n then feeling all that tension ain't easy 😕 maybe ya need to think more about communication rather than giving up 🗨️ idk, sounds like there's some underlying stuff neither of you are addressing 🧐 focusing only on the negative stuff ain't gonna help in the long run; it's good ur thinkin' about ur kid tho, but maybe it's time to seek some professional guidance; it's concerning when u mention those dark thoughts, ya know? playing with urself might be a short-term distraction but doesn't solve anything long-term 😑 think about the consequences of not addressing the real issues; hope u can find a way to see things differently 🏞️

yo man, i hear ya loud and clear; been there myself, feeling like you're in a soap opera that's seen better days 😅 relationships can be freakin' tough, especially with all the baggage we carry, ya know? ❤️ my ex and i ended up calling it quits after years of drama, and honestly, it was like a breath of fresh air; sometimes you just gotta step back and think about what keeps you both in the game. you've got your kid to think about, and that's huge, man; they're like little sponges soaking up everything, even when you don't realize it. don't let the whole wanking and isolation thing drag you down deeper though, ya get me? if you wanna keep things alive, get things off your chest with her; who knows, it might just clear up the storm and give you both a new perspective 🌟 hang tight and keep it real!

I completely understand what you're going through and honestly, you're not alone in feeling this way. Relationships can be incredibly challenging, especially when you feel like you're drifting apart!!! It's important to acknowledge these struggles and give voice to your feelings. Your son seems to be a significant reason for holding on, and that's commendable. However, it might be beneficial to explore open communication with your girlfriend; maybe even consider seeking professional help to gain clarity. Life has its ups and downs, and it's perfectly okay to feel overwhelmed at times; just ensure you're taking steps to address these concerns constructively. Keep in mind, a little effort in improving communication might lead to a better understanding between both of you. Hang in there, and take it one day at a time. Good luck! 😊

relationships can really be a pain sometimes.... It's like, "When it rains, it pours," right? 😕 The constant fighting and drifting apart is enough to make anyone feel lost. I've been there myself, wondering if it's even worth the hassle. Life can feel like one big mess sometimes, especially when you're juggling family and personal issues. But hey, sometimes you gotta think, "Is this what I really want?" Keeping it real with yourself and maybe having an honest chat with her could clear the air. Don't just stay in it for the kid, think if it's what's best for you too. Hang in there, man. You deserve some peace and happiness.

Hey, I hear you’re going through a tough time. Honestly, it seems like you might be focusing too much on the negative aspects of your relationship. Remember the old saying, "Every cloud has a silver lining"? Maybe there’s more to work with here than it seems. Relationships have their rocky moments, for sure. But if you're feeling this drained, it might be time to re-evaluate things. Life’s too short to be stuck in something that brings you down. Instead of hitting that dead-end mindset, how about considering some open communication or even a bit of counseling? It's easy to feel stuck, but there's always a way forward if you're willing to look for it.

I get that you're feeling overwhelmed and like things aren't going right, but are you sure it's all as bad as it seems? Relationships aren't always rainbows and butterflies!!! Sometimes we focus too much on what's going wrong instead of what's going well; I've learned that the hard way in my own life. As cliché as it sounds, "communication is key," and maybe there's more to this situation that can be worked out. It's important to ask yourself if this is a rough patch or something deeper. Have you tried speaking openly with her about how you truly feel? It's easy to spiral into negativity, but sometimes taking a step back and looking at things from a different perspective can be eye-opening. Just my two cents, but think about it.
