Me and my boyfriend of 3 years have a 2 year old daughter. I'm 23 and he's 26. I am from MN and he is from Illinois. We are in MN so I can be closer to family. I don't think I love him anymore. The sex is lacking, everything that makes it fun and I can't bring myself to even kiss him anymore. He is a great guy but, definitely, has flaws (can't even take care of himself let alone a family). At first we both wanted the same things out of life ,now, we're on opposite tracks! I can't bring myself to break up with him for our daughter's sakes but I'm way too young to be unhappy!  HELP!

If you are absolutely sure you no longer love him, it's best to split when your daughter is at this age, and not older. As children age, that is when they develop a true sense of family (mom and dad under one roof) and it is harder to make the break. My other suggestion is that you try some kind of couples counseling. Not necessarily to assist in keeping you and him together -- but you will show you are trying, and the counselor will be a good buffer to your feelings of discontent and aid in working out visitation and other issues that may arise. Being unhappy, at any age, is no day at the beach. You simply can't abide being tied down with the wrong guy.
