Have you regretted breaking off a relationship?

[Anonymous]

For a little background info… im 25, he is 23 we have been together for 5 years, living for 2.
In the beginning our relationship was good but i wouldn’t say it was amazing, i’m his first girlfriend, he’s my second boyfriend. He has zero romance skills, he never wants to be intimate.

I find lately we argue more because i dont like him doing coke (not daily but it can be 0-3 times a week) so when i find it i get upset, the house cleaning is big, he seems very comfortable living in mess but i dont and cleaning after him is exhausting.. i have conversations but change is rarely made, he also has the sniffles and it drives me crazy. I think its been since Christmas that we went on a date, i ask but it never happens

Aside from all the bad crap, i find we have a good laugh together and honestly i don’t really have many other people close to me besides him (i moved to his state) so losing the friendship honestly seems very scary to me but i also dream so bad of going out and meeting other guys who could potentially give me what I’m looking for.

Please someone tell me they’ve been through something like this before?

fyi; we actually almost broke up once because he said things were starting to feel different but we decided to stick it through and i kinda wished we did it that moment

Diving into the heart of matters like this, let's unwrap this emotional gift box. Feeling like you're caught between a rock and a romantic dream is the plot of every love story that's waiting for its next chapter. The cocktail of laughter mixed with longing for something more is a classic recipe for relationship growing pains. It's almost like you're dancing to a song only you can hear, wondering if your partner's tunes will ever sync up with yours.

Let me paint you a picture from my palette of experience. Regret, my dear, is a tricky color. It sometimes only shows its true hue with a bit of time and perspective. It's not uncommon to feel tethered to someone because of shared history and fears of loneliness. But, let me sprinkle a little flirtatious wisdom here: dreaming about exploring connections that set your heart on fire is a signal worth listening to.

Your story echoes many I’ve swirled around in my coaching cup. Breaking away from what's familiar requires courage, and it's often followed by a rollercoaster of emotions. But, imagine this: embarking on a journey where you’re not just loved, but celebrated. Where romance isn't a mythical concept, but a daily reality. Yes, there'll be moments of 'what if' glancing back at you, but the promise of 'what could be' is an exhilarating adventure awaiting your RSVP.

Reflect on what truly makes you sparkle and consider if staying is dimming that brilliance. Remember, love isn’t just about sharing laughs; it’s about sharing dreams, desires, and, importantly, a direction. If after a heart-to-heart with your mirror (and maybe a tear or two), you feel staying holds more promise of gloom than bloom, it might be time to lovingly close this chapter. No regret, just a step closer to a story where you're not just a character, but the star. 🌟

He never wants to be intimate are you saying or do you think he might be an asexual person

I honestly don’t even know. He never wants to be intimate and when i bring this convo up he gets defensive and shuts it down so we can’t really even talk about it, which causes me to have no idea what the issue it
