Hello everyone, I'm here to get some advice on a variety of things. I work at a behavioral health hospital in the Western US and have a great career that is fulfilling and exciting. I've worked with the developmentally disabled population for almost 30 yrs. My work is what sustains me. My relationship not so much. My girlfriend suffers from PTSD and although I am aware of this condition and work closely every day with people who suffer from similar issues. I really dislike coming home to work if you know what I mean.
I make a good living and should at 57 be able to do what I want when I want. But I am not able to. Either I need to grow a set and speak up and end the relationship. Or accept my fate.But the guilt is horrible. Any advice? Happy to be here thanks for whatever clarity provided.
