Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

Maybe this isn't helpful, and I'm sorry to generalise.
Ten years ago I could feel me and my now ex drifting apart. I fought it with every fibre of my being. I did everything I could to keep us together. I shelved my personality to keep her happy. In the end, she broke up with me, and 2015 was my worst year ever.
Since then, I grew a lot as a person, figured out who I am and what I need. I feel much happier with just the self awareness. I still talk to my ex sometimes, and I can't imagine being together. Not to disparage her, but she's so damn boring now (to me). I'm sure it's mutual. I am glad that we broke up, in the end.
I don't know where you'll end up, it might be exceptionally painful at first, but you might end up better in the end. I do feel for what you're going through, it is very very hard.
