I know this sounds like a silly question, but how does it feel to be with a partner who loves you, treats you properly and is there for you, and you feel beautiful and happy and feminine. I am in a relationship where I am not happy and in my city rent is so expensive. Almost $2000a month not including utilities and I just can not afford that with one income. I have savings but it will eat through it. I hate my partner. I am sad, I am a single mother in a relationship. He doesn’t help me with the kids or the home. We are basically just roommates who occasionally have sex. He says he loves me and it’s not love and I do not love him. I hate it here. I feel like I am both the male and female in the relationship. I don’t feel sexy, I don’t feel feminine, such as dressing up looking cute, feeling stress free where you can rely on your partner for support and stuff. It just makes so sad when I wakeup. When I see people in happy relationships and getting engaged. Part of me wants that but part of me doesn’t at the same time because I don’t want to labour in a household where cooking,children,house work, going to work and etc are only me while my partner does the bare minimum. I’d rather just be single than to be in a relationship as I am now.
