Therapy had a way of "ruining" relationships for me, as the light of truth shined onto how bad some of them were for me.
I was over-functioning, and others were UNDER functioning. I confronted this, and some of the relationships dissolved.
This was the source of a lot of grief for me.
The (relatively few) friends that I have left are good ones, ones that will go the distance for me, I hope. If not, I can deal with this too.
People come into our lives, it seems, for a reason, a season or for a long time.
Perhaps the season is coming to a close? Or perhaps more honesty will mean that you can hold onto something that has a good basis, but needs fine-tuning. Don't be rash...this relationship has had staying power or you would not have made it this long! Only you will know
Blessings to you as you navigate this one. It's tough, and I feel for you.
