I live with my bf of 3 years and I'm thinking of ending things
I'm absolutely terrified of leaving. We have a cat together that I will absolutely miss (it's best it stays with him), I have no support system and moving out successfully requires a lot of luck.
I'm upset that he's not 100% a piece of ***, I hate that he can still be kind and make me smile. 9/10 arguments or conflicts end in yelling, we have no patience anymore, we probably both hold resentment. I'm tired of having 2 good weeks and then a *** one. I'm only 24, if I had more money and friends I would leave but I don't so.... I'm scared. I'll be all alone with no one to talk to or see.

I am sorry you are having that happen i get it the couple of good weeks you think all is good them BAM right back into not working... if you can address the situation i am assuming you would.. i would suggest to anyone contemplating on leaving to take your time plan and save up if you can to make it as easy as possible. Networking to find a short term solution like a friend you can stay with etc is a good plan as well...
in the end no matter how much time you have spent in relationship at a certain point you need to take care of you and not be treated badly. so many of us put it off and 3 years become 4 or 5 and it is harder to separate and move on.
