Sheena Moiraa month agoI (31M) have been in a relationship with my girlfriend (27F) for almost 6 years. We live together in a small basement apartment, where we share the rent and have 2 cats. In the beginning, despite our differences, we had a lot of fun and were able to connect over things like food and nature. However, over the past 3 years, things have become increasingly difficult between us. We argue almost every week, and we’ve stopped doing things together due to lack of time or energy. I'm a pretty easy-going person, but she has high expectations, such as wanting flowers, surprise dates, and regular romantic gestures. While I understand this is normal in a relationship, I’ve never been great at that and, honestly, I don’t feel motivated to do it anymore because I'm emotionally drained. I’ve also realized that I don't love her anymore. She often makes me feel inadequate, like I’m not enough for her, and that another guy would treat her better. We’re also not intimate at all, as she feels I don’t deserve it unless I put in more effort, though I’m not even physically attracted to her anymore. She’s suggested couples therapy, but I can’t afford it, and even if I could, I’m not sure I want to try and fix things. I feel like it’s time to move on. The issue is, I don’t know how to break up with her because I have nowhere to go. I can’t stay with family or friends, and one of our cats is particularly attached to me—she’s like my daughter, and I can’t leave her behind. What should I do?150
