I’m in a similar situation. Me and my ex have been together a year we live together as well and have a dog together. We have had a bumpy year with a few death and losses and he’s had a bad knee injury this year. He’s 34 and I’m 31. Last year he was obsessed with me and I admit I was liking him but not to the same level. It’s like he was doing all he could to lock me down in a relationship and secure me for good.

The op wasn’t successful and my housemate was left in a wheelchair, partially blind and half deaf. It also turned out it was cancer and from the date of the op to her death was exactly 2 months.
