I have been living with the same girlfriend for 7yrs, we have been dating seriously for 2yrs, we are now at a point where we no longer share the same interests and are no longer happy together. Neither of us really wants to stay together yet the familiarity of being together seems to be the easy choice, financially and mentally.I don't want us to stay together for the wrong reasons,we don't have children. I don't really know if we are making the right choice, we have been through this several times before, I just don't want to go through this and have nothing to look forward to 10 years from now, advice, comments?

the only way to weigh your feelings for each other is give each other some space maybe for 3 months to 12 months.If you are happy without each other, then it shouldn't hurt either of you.... if you break up......

You don't need the same interests to be together, its about whether you love each other and are committed..You have to ask yourselves if there is any love and commitment in your relationship, because staying together because its familiar wont work out in the long run!!!
