Communication is a very important part of relationships. It’s something we all learn over time. I think you have been the one trying to do that for both of you. Please don’t see this challenge as your fault. You don’t deserve to beat yourself up and overwhelm yourself emotionally. It doesn’t even have anything to do with you being worthy of love. Ten years so you were just 18 and him 17. No experience with other relationships.

He broke and is showing how immature he really is not your fault. Yet as I mentioned, don’t circle the drain. Get up and save what you have and be firm about him paying the bills he creates. Don’t let him brow beat you. You own an interest in what is there.

I think it’s a good idea to buy him out. Look into that get help to preserve what’s rightfully yours.
