I also get hung up on the finance thing. And the fact that she uses emotions and guilt to control the situation. But the criticizm, judging and pre-scripted life is taking an extreme toll on me and my daughter. It's not a child by her, but my daughter is very attached none the less. I can handle the heart ache and adjustment of breaking off the relationship, but I'm concerned about how my 5 year old daughter will handle it. I’m a guy that’s in a quite toxic relationship.

Yet, as I work on myself, not him, on my health, not his needs, I see how the emotions are disconnecting, how the finances will somehow work out. I am not out yet, although YET is the key word today........and having a plan to leave is also key........

Now the question is, how do I seperate myself? I love him, I thought he was my soulmate. Financially and emotionally I just cant make myself leave. I know that is what I need to do. I know that is what I HAVE to do. But I cannot find the strength and courage. Lost and loveless In a relationship for 6 years now, I have discovered that my relationship is toxic.

I'm certain now, even though I like living with someone, that I would be happier living by myself than in this relationship: everything you mentioned above is true.
