Default profile image
I am a middle aged mum of a 16 yr old and have been in a relationship for 2 years with a man who firstly I thought was mr right. I am suffering from some anxiety problems and have my own crosses to bear depression etc and to begin with I thought I could manage lately all I feel like is a doormat to him and my daughter , dont mind so much for my girl as she is a teenager but with him im getting annoyed. I love this man he just lets me down and has some honesty issues. I am scared of being alone .... can you give me some advice please

Sylvia, you're better off alone than with a man you have trust issues with. You're middle aged, so you probably well know this. Throw in the disrespect of your partner treating you like a doormat and the relationship is basically finished. If you continue with this relationship the predictability of it will just cause more misery and isolation for you. You have your own crosses to bear as you state, but this relationship is becoming the biggest of them all. If your partner thought anything of you, he would be supporting you with your crosses not adding to them. If you can't sit your partner down and discuss your issues with him and if he doesn't want or have a need to assist to repair the relationship, or care about you, then you are already alone. Your daughter, regardless of her age, needs to support you in all this, whether you are together with your partner or not.
