the classic advice for breaking up is, "it's not about you, honey" and stress the things she does right, but also the things that, through no one's fault are incompatible and doom the relationship to failure. When I've done the "it's not about you" 4 times in the last year, she sees that as a reason to keep working on it.
The issues?:
-doesn't let me get a word in edgewise
-offers too much unsolicited advice
-has lots of drama in her life
-i'm depressive and she has ADD,
-can only see her own point of view
-i've ended up the handyman for her old house and she starts two projects for every one i finish.
-talks too much about work (we both work for the same company) w/ opinions i don't always agree with.
(I will admit to be overly commited to my adult children, needing lots of time to myself, being an introvrt, very structured and very involved in sports that she doesn't care about.)
So how do i end it?
