I have been with my partner for more than 5 years now. Our relationship has problems from time to time. Now we don't talk with each other a lot. I feel that our relationship is getting weaker and I am not happy with him

3 year ago, I met another person. Though he suffers from depression, we enjoy being together. He feels better when I am with him. I help him a lot with his paperworks, emotion and other things. Now I feel that I love him very much. I enjoy being with him than my current partner. I don't know what I shall do.

I would be much appreciated if you could guide me what I should do? Shall I leave my current partner and move to a happier relationship?

Many thanks,

Tom

Thank you all for your advice. Though our relationship is struggling, my current partner is treating me very well. He does do a lot of housework in the home and I concentrate on my business. I feel guilty to leave him. But I really feel that I enjoy being with my depressed friend more than my partner.

Recently, I think a lot and don't know what I shall do. Now I cannot sleep very well and cannot concentrate on my career.

lotsofgiggles123 agony aunti think if you like truly love your freind first try talking more with your partener maybe like try it for about two or three weeks and if you still have feelings fpr your freind and have less of an attraction with your partener u should probably break up with your partener and see if your freind is still single and if he is go get him

(and if you do break up with your current parnter break it to him genlty)
