My b/f and I have been dating for 18 months, lived together for 8 months. He has decided to move out.
He is under a lot of stress right now (just lost his job of 18 years, is worried about his elderly father with bad health, has regrets about not being there for his grown kids more when they were growing up, and is worried that he is a failure because he hasn't accomplished a major life goal in a creative field).
I asked him if he is ending the relationship, he said he isn't, he loves me and we will still be a couple, but he needs his own space to focus on the creative project (he is a writer, but in the past has only been able to write when living alone in his own space). He has also lost some interest in sex (still cuddles, hugs, kisses, and we do have sex, but less often) - symptom of job loss, depression?
I want to believe him, that we will be okay, but it seems like a big step backwards. I am having a hard time understanding this, but I know there is no other woman.
