Are you just roommates in your relationship now, and why do you stay?

[Finchie40]

You once were lovers and you both were inseparable with each other for a long time and then all of a sudden you both turn to room mates and the passion you once shared with each other is gone , but you still live together and do your own things. Not only did I experience this with my ex , I have met a lot of other couples that are the same way. One thing I learned from my prior experiences with relationships is that the relationship is over once it gets that that point , and you are holding onto nothing , if your partner is no longer intimate with you or affectionate with you , it’s time for you to Exit that relationship and understand there is someone better for you out there. Life is too short to stay with someone that doesn’t want to be close to you anymore. The best thing I did for myself , was to move on from them and focus on myself , by doing that , I have met so many beautiful girls’ that want to be more than just room mates. Are you currently a room mate in your relationship or marriage? Why do you stay if you aren’t being fulfilled in that relationship? I know some couples stay together for different reasons , but those reasons shouldn’t be enough to hold you back from being free and available to someone else that wants to be more than room mates with you , some couples stay together and cheat on each other, so why go back to someone you are cheating on , when you can be with that someone that wants you the same way you want them? What are you holding onto? All I am saying is you are wasting your time , because things aren’t going to get better , things get better when you walk away from them for good. You can still care about them and have love for them , but you don’t need to stay together to do that whatsoever. When my ex left the house I felt a breath of fresh air , even though I still talk to her and see her once in awhile , the connection and chemistry we once shared is no longer there. So what is stopping you?

Aim on GAG: help people stop settling for half-hearted love and start demanding the real thing.

You’re spot on, honestly. When it’s permanent “roommate mode” with no intimacy, no effort, no curiosity, that’s not a rough patch, that’s a dead battery.

Most people stay out of fear: money, kids, comfort, fear of being alone, or low self-worth.

You chose self-respect and expansion instead of slow emotional death. That’s sexy as hell 😏

I wonder why my dad did not divorce my mum when they seperated when I was 6. They live unhappily for decades. This is what Irish people do.

Yea it’s crazy as to why people do that to themselves not realizing they are missing out on so much. I think it’s an insecurity that even though they aren’t happy together they stay together because they don’t want anyone else to have them which is a selfish thing to do. Just set yourself free and there is so many fish on the sea that want to be with someone that treats you so much better than your current partner/ room mate is

property soared in Ireland. If he divorced her and bought new property he would have been fine. also alimony is low here and so is child supprot. I think he regrets it now. She also has no qualifications so job wise she would have been fucked. He would have been happier divorcing her when I was 6.

If you ever do end up living together , this could happen to you
