I’m 29 years old and my girlfriend is 24. I consider us to have been together for three years, even though we had a period when we broke up and each of us lived our own life. We’ve now been back together for over a year. Four months ago, she got pregnant. I was the happiest man in the world when I found out, but that happiness didn’t last long. Her arguments and provocations became unbearable. I remember thinking at one point — if we weren’t expecting a child, I would pack my things and never come back. A month ago, she had a miscarriage. I was by her side the entire time, through the whole process. She doesn’t really have her family, and I was probably her only real support. Just a day after it happened, she started another argument. That’s when I told her I didn’t want to be with her anymore — and that’s when she changed. Seven days later, my father passed away. I didn’t want her to get involved, but she insisted and stayed by my side the whole time, supporting me. A few days ago, we talked about what comes next. I told her it might be best if she left. She simply said “okay” — but she still stayed. We had a similar conversation before, when she told me she wouldn’t even mind if I had another woman, that it wouldn’t bother her and she would still stay. I have never cheated on her. I genuinely care about her, but I feel that I’m not the right man for her. We see the future and family very differently. I feel restricted — everything bothers her, she needs to know everything. I understand that some of it is natural, but it seems to me that in her case it has crossed into possessiveness. submitted by /u/Proteus996
