Hi there.

Hi everyone. Don't know where to start really. I'm 5 years into a relationship and my partner has decided she no longer feels the passion we had before and wants to break up.She still loves me but sees me "more as a friend" We share a flat and are planning to both move out in the quite near future. I am completely heart broken and desperate to make things right. I'm still crazy about this girl. We've split up and gotten back together 3 times in the last few months. Don't know if this forum can help me at all but that's how desperate I am. At least it might destract me from my current bout of loneliness for a while. Sorry if this is depressing folks.

Sorry to hear you're going through this rough and tumultuous time. I understand you love this girl, but if her heart isn't into it, your utmost duty is to yourself. To battle your loneliness, I recommend that you take up new hobbies or classes to expand your interests and meet new people. I have friends who, after break ups, started working out at the gym daily or reading, and it has helped them solidify a sense of who they are as an independent person (not to say that you're not independent). If you've gotten back together three times, it seems like she is being indecisive and taking advantage of your feelings. Try not to give her this opportunity - find happiness in other things, and tell her she needs to find out what she really wants.
