Mother passed away and I don't want my boyfriend

Hello,

I was extremely close to my mum and I looked after her 24/7 in her final few weeks. Sadly, she passed away after a long fight with breast cancer. Quickly after her death I went travelling with my boyfriend and between us we were really good. Since coming home, the shock of losing my mum hit me and suddenly I had to grieve and get used to house etc and then I was back at uni with even more stress and work - I live at uni during term time. Now, i've started pushing my boyfriend away and hes irritating me. We've been together for 5 years and we were so happy but now I dont feel the same way and I cant think of a rational reasoning why. I don't want to break up with him if my feelings are being distorted because I'm going through grief. I told him that I was going to start going to counselling to talk through my issues and he got upset and offended that I wasn't talking to him. 

I'm going through so much and I cant think clearly - especially in what is best for me and my relationship.

 

Any advice?

  • I feel the same .. at present time my mum is on her last days. Me and my dad are sat everyday night waiting for her final breath. My partner has two boys from a previous marriage and had booked a trip to take his boys long before we met.

    i know it’s not his fault because it’s just bad timing but I feel betrayed by him and angry and I’m pushing him away when he’s been super nice to me and feel as if I want to end it, My father loves my mother so much and he won’t leave her side so both of us are exhausted staying in hospice. I feel I’m trying to be strong for him but no one to be strong for me. Not really sure how I will go on with the relationship.
