Been in a relationship for a few years...but this can't be what love feels like. Most days I just feel incapable of romantic love altogether. On a couple occasions, I think I may have felt it for another, but I'm pretty sure this is just initial infatuation bound to fade when I know the complete person...so why chance stability.

Has anyone ever felt the same? I don't know if it's a character flaw or just psychological or something else 🤷‍♂️ Feels isolating to not experience part of being human

Normalize being single and enjoying you’re own space! There’s nothing wrong with you. Happiness in life has nothing to do with love, having a partner blah blah (though it can, but not for everyone). But if you have fallen out of love with your partner and you can see yourself being happier alone or with another, it’s worth having an honest conversation about it. You both deserve to be happy.

Definitely agree with GT1. It’s okay to be single if you’re not happy in your relationship (it’s okay to be single in general); take some time to think about what you’re really looking for in a romantic partner and if you want to have one in the future at all. It took me a lot of time to figure out what I was looking for in a relationship, and a lot of it changed with reflection. You won’t find happiness in a partner, but you may find something else that’s special if you know what you’re looking for

My last therapist keeps coming up in my mind. I left her when I moved to a new area before COVID dug in and frankly it felt like leaving a girlfriend. She also disclosed in the final session that she was a member of AA and knew several of the people I occasionally discussed from the rooms. Her knowledge of the program certainly built trust with me early on, but it has been two years. I discussed it with my current therapist but she’s still in there. Any advice?

My SO adds very little to our relationship. She has a dead end job. I cook. I work. I oversee finances. I plan trips. She doesn’t have a voice in the relationship. I’ve asked her to give her perspective but she always defaults to mine bc she thinks I’m smarter/worldly. She feels intimated by me and my social circle. Lately, I’ve found myself thinking for her. Anticipating her wants and needs and then adjusting my behavior to meet them. Which she appreciates but it’s frustrating 29M 27F
