I have a long term bf and I live with him but I’m ready to start dating for money and lifestyle. My bf makes good money for his age but he’s very toxic and makes me go 50/50. And truly I don’t think we can even afford to have kids even if we both work full time. But I’m hesitant to fully break up with him and move out because he pays half the bills and because of his income I have more free time and money to go out and freestyle.

I don’t want to hinder my chances by staying with him but I’ll be honest I don’t want to give up my comfortable lifestyle either. Ideally I want to meet someone and make a soother transition out of this relationship and into the next. What do y’all think? I don’t really want to stay with my bf but I also don’t want to have to struggle alone either.
