I swear I can just feel the exhaustion. This relationship isn't healthy. You need to look out for you. You're the only one between the two of you who will.
Listen to your therapist. You cannot control other people's actions or responses. You need out. Don't feel guilty for looking out for yourself or being “selfish”.
Damn I just wrote such a long comment and then read this and my comment basically says the same as you said. But hey, I wanted to say from one recovering addict to another, you are amazing! Congrats on 23 years, that is something to be proud of. Keep coming back. ?
She’s not old enough to have a relationship. She’s acting like a teenage girl. That doesn’t understand. Part of an adult relationship is sexuality. I’m not sure what to say if you’re OK with that then stay with her but I don’t know what it’s so weird to me.

I wish you all the best OP.

Thanks you for your understanding. You’re one of the few that didn’t attack me for feeling smothered and annoyed by this
