I've been thinking about breaking up with my bf for a few weeks now cause one of his alters got a girlfriend and syarted hosting, and I was just kinda alone all the time but still in a relationship, and I was just sad and lonely and distancing myself from my feelings but his alter and their girlfriend broke up earlier and my boyfriend is like "I'm gonna be fronting a lot more so we can talk more again yay!" And I've just been isolated and depressed for weeks and don't feel like I can just bounce back when I feel like I'll always be second priority and if an alter gets in a relationship again I'll be left behind again. He was also judging why they broke up because the girl couldn't handle this alters disorder. So like if I break up with my boyfriend he would also hate me for "breaking up over a disorder I knew about when we started the relationship" when I see it as the dynamic of the relationship changing. I think anyone has the right to break up with anyone else for any reason but he gets upset when he doesn't think it's valid enough of a reason. Idk, I care about him still and want to have him in my life but I'm not feeling it anymore.

I feel stuck in my relationship

I had a sort of similar situation years ago. It was platonic so it was a little different but I honestly was a little attracted to them. New alter came about and we had absolutely nothing in common. I tried to get along with them, but eventually the one I was best friends with stopped fronting altogether and I was finding it hard to connect with the new host. Ended up telling them exactly that and whilst I did feel pretty awful, I didn't see a point in holding a friendship with people I didn't get along with.
If you feel like you're always going to be second-best until there's no one else for them, it might be time to reflect on that and see if that's what you want. :-( I hope you figure it out ! <3

Break up at any chance.. don't wait alot ; it will cost you yourself.
I was going to after he left for Uni in August and use his alters relationship as the reason but it seems so much harder and I feel like I'm just looking for excuses now and don't have an actual reason to :(

As someone whoβs been in the EXACT same situation, I can tell you from the heart, ending that relationship might be the best thing you can do for yourself. The peace that comes after is unlike anything else. Their condition doesn't define the relationshipβyou have every right to walk away if the connection and care you once felt just arenβt there anymore. I donβt usually hand out love advice, but you reminded me so much of myself a year ago that I had to say something. Look, they probably wonβt take it wellβlike most humans, theyβll twist themselves into pretzels trying to believe itβs everyone elseβs fault. But thatβs not on you. Youβre not their therapist. You just need to know that your reasons are valid, and thatβs more than enough.
I don't know if I'm looking for advice or just speaking into the void, but I'll think about this, thank you
