Cross posted with relationship advice
Slightly long, thanks in advanced if you read through.
We’ve been together 2.5 years. He’s currently in prison with just under 2 years left and we got together while he was in prison.
I wouldn’t say there’s any particularly huge issue in our relationship. Lots of little things over time. Last year we had a really hard year; and in august it blew up because my mental health was in shambles. I had a break down that ended up with a bipolar disorder diagnosis and that really just.. changed my perspective on things I guess.
I don’t know how to talk to him anymore, I don’t feel connected, I’m exhausted in every way. We had agreed we wanted kids but with everything that happened im adamant against it and he’s not happy about it. I have gone out of the way for over 2 years to make sure he was secured and good, and I’m drained. I have given everything and I have nothing left to give. I love him though, so much and he’s my best friend but I don’t know if this is fixable.
TDLR: I love him but I’m not sure staying is worth it and I don’t know how to leave.

Think about it like this: when he gets out do you really want to build a life with an ex-convict? He’ll really struggle to hold down a job & you’ll just be involved in ‘struggle love’ rather than acc building something – don’t wait around for someone to get out of prison, find your true love now (who preferably abides by the law and makes life easier)
