I (26f) am about to end my relationship with my partner (48M). You can check my previous posts about what a loving supportive reliable captain he is. But he just does not treat me with kindness and consideration.

He hurts my feelings and when I tell him he insists on defending himself and turning it around to make it my fault. When I try to show him what he’s doing wrong he says I’m bringing drama and fights into the relationship.

I’m just so tired of living like this. Because it’s just been a continuous cycle from him. As I write this I’m calm and composed ( and sad), I’ve come to accept that although I wanted to build a future with him, I cannot build anything with someone who is not kind and considerate towards me.
