I am starting to question things in my relationship. I was in a long-term relationship that resulted in a broken engagement (he broke it off). We had more than 2 years apart, but then got back together a few months ago. Over the span of the 2 years we've been apart, he had been trying hard to make it up to me and said leaving me was "the worst mistake." Eventually, I caved in and saw him, and we kept seeing each other.

I truly love him, but I am starting to realize that my feelings for him have faded to some degree, where I don't think I'm in love with him. However, I would imagine this can be normal, given that we have been apart for a while, and it takes time to rebuild a relationship. We do have a special connection, but I don't know if it's really enough as far as compatibility is concerned. Plus, some of his bad habits make me question if he is the right person for me to live with. I'm afraid that if I break up with him now, I'll regret it. However, I really don't know if I see a future with him. See, what's difficult is that I also struggle with unstable moods and periods where I prefer to be alone no matter who I'm with. Also, I am someone that lives in the moment, and I'm not future-oriented. So maybe it's just me. I'm so torn.

Another reason I fear having that talk is that I never want to see him hurt and cannot really imagine a future without him. I must admit I have some people pleasing traits, but that's only part of the problem. I can't bear to think about having the talk with him. I'm not ready to lose him, but feel I need to start preparing myself for accepting this relationship is not meant to progress. Any signs that I should look out for that would confirm I'm in a dead-end relationship? I don't even know where to begin, but I'd like some input and points to consider.
