writes: I want to leave my partner.....we have a 4 year old little girl. I have not been happy since my daughter was born. I do not love my partner and am only staying because of my daughter. Financially i cannot leave...we struggle living in one household let alone paying for 2 if we split up. I have gone through these past four years resolute in the fact that I would stay with him. He is a good man, a good father. This is tearing me apart. Now I am so depressed, I feel like I have a huge burden on my shoulders. I feel like I am being held to ransom and my life is on hold. I dont know what to do. I feel like i have no one to turn to about this. I talk to friends....but they give me no resolution. We do not have a proper relationship, it is basically sexless and we are just functioning to keep the family going. I feel so much guilt..for my daughter. But for my own sanity i need to go soon....but i to leave him soon but I have nowhere to go.
