**Updated to add - I would love to be able to have a conversation in person but, we don’t live together and unfortunately he’s continuing to prioritise drugs and disappearing, which he swore he had stopped, so I’m trying to do the best I can at explaining in a message.

I’m planning on sending it this evening but wanted to make sure it came across in the right way…

I will always care about you but I don’t think we’re made to be together. I don’t see this working long term because we are completely different people with what I believe to be completely different expectations of what a relationship looks like and that’s perfectly ok; I think it’s why we keep clashing and feel more distant. There are several things I’ve hoped would improve with time but, I know that my needs and values aren’t met here and I don’t feel it’s a priority of yours to communicate about what’s not working. Personally I don’t feel supported by you or that your actions always match your words and it makes me feel resentful but, I have tried not to bring it up because it becomes a pointless argument with you saying you’re helping everyone else. I’ve never believed that two people should stay together just because they’re having a child and I won’t stay in something where I don’t feel satisfied for the sake of it. I wont lose myself in a relationship where I feel like an inconvenience and I don’t want you to lose yourself feeling like you have to change who you are either - sometimes people just aren’t compatible, no matter how much we wish we were.
