Hi thanks for writing. That’s does sound stressful. Relationships do take a lot of your time and energy. Please do a reality check to understand whether this relationship deserves you. You can do a quick reality check by answering these few questions
- are you happy ? Is this relationship giving you what you want in a ideal relationship ?
- Are you respected in this relationship ? Are you goals and decisions valued ?
- Do you both share common future relationship goals specifically about marriage, finances, career, children ?
- Is the relationship taking too much of your time and energy which is affecting your mental health and peace ? Do you feel “Stuck” or stressed in this relationship ?
Please answer these to yourself honestly and check where you stand in this relationship. Good relationships do not limit itself to age differences so do not judge yourself for the same however what matters is the way you feel about the relationship
