I think i have to break up with my partner...
Post Body

Its not something im taking lightly, weve been together for 10 years. And everything has been kind of a pattern throughout.

My partner is autistic. Like, heavily autistic. Like...should be on disability. Cant do anything at all unless conditions are perfect. As a result, they cant work. And due to a mycotoxin issue, their sensitivies are heavily increased.

So, i have to do the majority of the cooking, the laundry, help clean the apartment, and work to pay the bills. And im unemployed, facing possibly homelessness at the end of the year. They havent lifted a finger. Theyre just...ok with that.

There are more issues than just the autism, and they make it more difficult as well. I cant really fiscuss issues, celebrate anything... i feel dead... im 36...

We had a home, paid off. When i lost my job, they judt...watched... and i told myself i was fine, but i lost everything and they...watched.

I feel guilty, they dont have any family, but neither do i. And i dont know what they would do or where they could go, and i care enough about them to be worried about that.

What do i do?

Edit Just so its in here. I try. Were incredibly poor, as i said. But all of it gets classified as autism and non negotiable. From working, (they have been just about to launch thrir art career for 6 years).

This does, to their credit, include not being able to go out for stuff they enjoy either.

But theyre always too sick. Constantly. And i cant afford to support us both. And they know were struggling. Its not exactly a secret. They watch tv all day cause its all they can handle.

Ive asked about a job, but they just have a panic attack. Its not that i dont love them, but i dont have any support myself.
