A female United States age 41-50, anonymous writes:

Hello Cupid,

Well I have been with my guy since 1998 and now we are 32 with a 10 year old daughter. The issue I have is I have grown apart from him, I stay with him because I feel I have too but in reality nothing is really holding me... I'm not IN love with him, yet I can say I do have love for him. I just don't believe in him and what he feels is right. I have changed for the good but along the way with him I picked up negative habits. I have tried to leave but none of the attempts were successful or else I wouldn't be on here. I at times feel like picking up and goin'... O I have tried discussions regarding this issue but once again his way or the highway.... I don't like to be smothered or harassed to be by his side... I just feel a whole lot of negativity and "I know I'm better than them" attitude... he is lazy to me and uses his Male gender to try to punk me.... so basically I want to leave him with out feeling guilty... so how? Any suggestions???

You could see a counselor or a therapist. It sounds like you know you want to leave him but don't have the strength to overcome the internal obstacles. Here's where a good therapist can help you. They can help guide you towards building up more confidence or to create a detailed plan of action.

Tell it straight. You have love for him but you no longer love him, you feel you've grown apart and you won't put up with the way he treats you.

Honesty is best and it's natural to feel guilt but I cannot see why you are feeling guilty.
