I want to stay, but don't see a future


Recommended Posts

Hi, 

I have been with someone for 8 years and I feel so depressed, I am hanging on for a bit of security at the moment and it’s made me feel so vulnerable. I do want to stay with him but I don’t see a future right now

What do you mean by security?

I think we need a little more information...  How old are the two of you??

What do you mean by a future??  Marriage??  Kids??  House with a white picket fence??

Would you be depressed if you weren't in this relationship and by yourself??

That's almost a decade of going nowhere. What is it you're hoping for?

If it's commitment marriage family etc. and he's just coasting along you're wasting your life away.

Don't hang on as a security blanket or "waiting" for someone to want what you want.

Thank you I do feel like I’m coasting and I as I’m not working full time i can’t just leave as I have no where to go. I feel like in two years I won’t put up with being miserable I know it sounds bad but I’ll have nurse career by then

My expectations of kids etc have gone now, I don’t even like thinking about it anymore

Why not?

Is it possible that you have depression? Have you consulted a physician? A counsellor at the university?
