No it is NOT selfish , I dumped my ex wife , as she brought nothing positive into my life and was a lazy , complaining machine. Despite it's drawbacks , I am much happier as a single dad , still working FT.
It is absolutely okay to break up with someone because you are unhappy. You should value your happiness over your partners. But you do have options. You could for instance have a conversation with your partner about how you feel and explain that if things won’t change you will have to do what’s best for you and leave.
To know that you have find the root of the unhappiness. It may not have anything to do with him.
Yea if he’s busy with his life then let him have it and move on
Yeah I know. It hurts. I think the hardest part is trying not to blame myself.
Don’t own whats not yours.
By definition it is.
But it's a valid reason. Partnerships are both of you and should make you feel better people (mentally or physically or both etc.).
I don't know maybe you should give him a chance after giving him a hint that you'd breakup bec u're feeling unhappy with him.
if he didn't make effort to keep you, then yes you should break up w him.
I was going to ask when women will ever learn that they are responsible for their own happiness? Relationships are not there to bring happiness. That comes from within. Partners aren't gere to complete your life, but compliment it. Stop watching movies and expecting your reality to match.
That is a shitty reason to break up and suggests that you do not understand relationships.
That's ridiculous. He doesn't own you. If you aren't happy then end this so you can meet someone else.
Get out now before you waste more of your time in a relationship you don’t want to be in. I broke up with my ex after 4 months cause I was unhappy.
no, what’s the point in being in a relationship you’re unhappy in? it’s unfair for both you and your partner
No it's not wtf, why should you stay in a relationship if you are not happy, if both sides do not make equal effort then what's the point?
I don’t think. You should be with someone who makes you happy. Someone who fills you with excitement everytime you see them.
People are who they are, they dont change at least not long term. So if your not happy after 4 months then get out. Think what it will be like in 4 years...
No. Absolutely not.
Lying to yourself makes yourself less valuable
And lying to her makes you disrespectful
Move on!
The entire point of a relationship is to find a degree of happiness.
What, so you're expected to stay in am unhappy relationship? why?
No it's not selfish. Everyone is responsible for their own happiness 💙😇
Unhappiness is why people get out relationships, if they can't fix it.
Literally one of the most valid reasons to break up. Never stay in a situation you're unhappy with.
It’s selfish but I don’t find that bad. I think it’s worse to stay in a relationship that you are not happy with. Doesn’t lead to anything good and isn’t healthy at all.
Eh dk but thats what i did, i didn't care what other people thought about it. I was unhappy and tired of his bullshit, why waste more time with the wrong person?
