How do I walk away from a long-term relationship that I am unhappy with?
Sometimes I want to end this relationship but don't know how to make that difficult decision. I feel like I am stuck and don't have any other option because I am scared to be alone. I love this girl, and the relationship has lasted for about three years. Still, I have recently lost interest in her because it seems we have different perspectives about relationships and our goals do not align. I have discussed this with her, but it's not improving. I have been thinking of how to walk away from this long-term relationship because I am unhappy.

I think one of the main goal in life is for us to be happy. I was in a similar situation some years ago. I had to be open and honest with her because I loved her and did not want to just ghost her. I told her the differences that has been concerning me. We came to a decision to get a relationship counselor and try to work on our differences. Surprisingly, with a lot of cooperation, we are still going strong till date and I love her more now than ever. I would advise that you both find professional help to assist you in ironing those issues and to determine if they can be resolved. However if you think they cannot be resolved or you continue to feel the same way especially after seeking professional help, you might want to talk calmly about calling it quits.
Just do it. We can't make other people happy when we aren't. Hive yourself the breathing room you need.

It will be hard but sometimes hard things are necessary. If you think you may have your own issues to work through, consider seeking help. Otherwise, give yourself the grace to work through everything that goes with ending a relationship. Be kind to yourself and take heart in the fact that you are doing this for yourself and for your future happiness.
If you are not happy do what makes you happy.. leave start to do things for you show yourself you can do this .don't let anyone put u down or hold you back for happyness..
Dealing with abandonment here my brotha. My wife waited until I left to go to work and took an Uber to a uHaul and then took and collected all of her stuff in front of my kids and took off with kids crying and calling me to ask for instructions on what to do. She broke our hearts and all because she couldn't face the fact that she felt inadequate as a mother and wife. Said she wanted me to find someone better than her and after she took off said she regrets hurting me and wanted to have a relationship with my oldest daughter who also hates her for the fact that she hurt her daddy. Now the soon-to-be ex-wife regrets her decision but I can't trust her so I can't see a relationship anymore. Miss her dearly but can't forgive her for this.
