Scared to breakup with SO of 15 years, with a 4 year old
Relationship Stress / by wsjmdav

...See more Me and my GF have been together for 15 years, since we were 15. All we have ever know is each other. Over the past few years we have drifted apart a vast amount and no longer really get on that well. If I'm honest, I don't think i'm in love with her anymore. I still care for her, and love her, and would never stop. We nearly broke up recently, it was a mutual decision - she even said herself she was relieved at the time. It lasted all of a few days, and then she wanted to try again...... Deep down I didn't really want to, but I feel genuinly scared of change and not being with her. Not only that we have a 4(nearly 5) year old and I'm scared how this will effect him, if we broke up. I will miss him like mad, even though I still see him all the time, but it won't be the same at all. I don't want to destroy his life, or cause him problems down the line. I know staying together for the kids will cause just as much harm though. On top of all this, I dont want to hurt my GF - it breaks my heart thinking about her being upset and scared too. Although I think she feels the same as me, because of her back and forth decision changing about us breaking up. I dont know what to do, or face any of this. I suffer with severe anxieties and depression also, so I find it very hard to face these fears and do the right thing for us all. I hope this is all readable, as not posted on any forum before - about myself anyway. Thank you
