Relationships are not easy, and everyone has complicated reasons for their own relationship difficulties. We learn about ourselves in relationships, and sometimes we get some unhelpful lessons that teach us we're someone other than ourselves, and teach us to have unrealistic expectations. We get into things that aren't right for us, and get sick of feeling out of touch, and out of place.
I don't know anyone that's totally happy with themselves and their relationships.
"Start small" is really good advice. You're making yourself heard here. You write eloquently. There are lots of people who sympathize with what you're going through, and know there is light at the end of the tunnel.
Have you ever felt like this before?
