I did that for 5 years for financial reasons. Never again. Worst 5 years of my life. Took me a year to remember that I was worth something. We got along fine.. but he preferred bestiality to me. And he was emotionally abusive.
It's NOT worth it. The break up is SO worth being able to look for someone who actually makes you happy.

It's happened to me but not by choice. I was in love when I decided to move in but after many years things went sour and I ended up falling for someone else at the end. Of course, I seceded from my partner and living situation after that happened.
That song kinda pisses me off for the message it sends. I mean, I get it, cuz you can't always be with the one you truly love for whatever reason so you have to move on. However, I don't agree with any "settling" just because of that. I fell in love with someone else when I was living with my ex and I feel I did the right thing by calling it quits and moving out so that we may both find someone we deserve.
I think that one shouldn't move on to someone else until they've healed that part of themselves. That's not fair to the other person. Even if it takes years to get over (in which case I would suggest therapy) and you have to stay single for a while.
If it's lust or an infatuation, then who cares? It happens. If it's love though then do the right thing.
OMGoodness! I could'nt do it! If I can't be with the one I love...it will just be me until I fall in love again....

Who ever suggested that staying in a relationship where you didn't belong harmed your self worth was correct .... it may be hard to leave, but, a person has to if they plan on keeping their sanity.
I wonder, though, about the other side of this coin ... does the man you are staying with comprehend that you are emotionally absent? To make the claim that the man isn't loving you, or wanting you, or making you happy .. couldn't the same be said of you? If you are still there ... USING ... him until you find greener grass?
Apparantly, this thread is about another man, since people keep referencing him ... while you struggle to find justification for feeling guilty.
Perhaps, you should change your perspective .... afterall, we are what we think.

How pathetic for anyone to be so dependent on another or afraid of being alone, or going solo that you gotta have somebody anybody just to say you have somebody.

Not loving the one you are with? Sad... and maybe insecure?

It is not easy to love a Libra. Scorpio will be transformed in the process because Libra takes the middle road, and doesn't like anything extreme.. so they always go back and forth until an almost perfect status quo is achieved.. Aries men on the other hand accept scorpio with no questions asked.. its is easy for scorpio to manipulate Aries man but not Libra.. ironic, considering Libra is seen as weak and most malleable by other zodiac signs..
We live for an ideal, and that is stronger than ego or emotion..

I have no answer, just helping you with your thought (and decision process) for whatever it is worth.
