Why do you think she might have a better life without you? Has she said that?

You need to become comfortable with leading your own life. You need to become more independent, to have your own values and beliefs.

You do not need to make anybody happy. If you want to stay in the relationship then stay, if you want to leave then leave. Of course you don’t want her to be upset, but if you don’t like the relationship any more, then it’s more kind to end it than to keep it going.

If you do like the relationship, then why are you making this post?

Also: there is nothing to feel guilty about. Your needs and desires are just as important as anybody else’s – in fact they are even more important in your own life.
