The advice on this forum has been so helpful! I’m currently in a situation where my boyfriend and I still love each other immensely, but some of the spark had gone away. Also, we both just got new jobs with very long hours and conflicting schedules so we won’t be able to spend as much time together this summer as we have been all year. This July will mark one year that we are together and I’ve never had a relationship last longer than 6 months and never one as serious as this one. He is the most amazing soul I’ve ever met and he’s taught me so much that I need to grow and become a happier person. He says I’ve done the same for him and we have so much love for each other. However now with his new job, he is extremely motivated to reach really big life goals and that means focusing a lot on his job and other goals. I’m having trouble with this part because I depend on him for my happiness. He is my best friend, my therapist, lover, care giver, etc and it’s so tough to not have him around as often. I’m going to take in all of the advice on this forum and really try to learn to find happiness on my own and not depend on him. I know this will only make our relationship stronger because he will love to see how independent I’ve become. If anyone knows of any books I can read that has great lessons like these, please share! Thank you!
