For at least the past 18 months I have wanted to leave my partner. Always planned but just chickened out for some silly reason. All was going well and I had finally decided when our lease ended I would go.
I'm tired of being on my own but partnered, going without help, feeling insecure (he's cheated in the last 6 months) and well, I deserve to be happy!
Now his father has passed away and this has put a spanner in my plan.
I feel like I am stuck and if it's not this that's holding me back from being happy it will just be something else. I thought his dad's passing would wake him up to how short life is but it hasn't. I understand it's a crap situation and as much as I want to support him he's not been one to support me other then financially.
I want to leave but can I? Can I really leave without being a heartless b*tch? I've tried for 3 years to make things work and I just cannot do it anymore. An amazing job has come up, eldest will start schooling next year and our lease ends before the end of the year. It just seems like everything is pointing me in the direction of happiness.

Leave, there is never a good time to leave, so just do it
Just leave, he's not interested in your mental health so don't you worry about his
I agree with the above, just leave. You deserve to find happiness
There's never going to be a "good" time. You said it yourself, everything is pointing you in the direction of happiness. Move you and your babies on to a new and better life. Good luck Mama.
You deserve better. Leave and don't look back. xx
There will never be a 'right' time. There's no point making someone a priority when you don't get equal return. There's no point being in a partnership if you are not a team or not looking out for each others best interests. Put your happiness first and leave yourself open to finding a partner who really cares about you. Life's too precious to waste.
