\n5 years together, but I feel totally invisible. Am I holding on just because of time invested? \ud83d\udc94<\/p>\n

We recently moved in after 5 years, but the spark is completely gone. He always has to win every argument, walks 10 steps ahead of me, and spends entire meals glued to his phone chatting with friends. To top it off, he just asked for an open relationship because of different sex drives\u2014when all I really want is simple affection and a real conversation.<\/p>\n

Now, a new guy has entered the picture who treats me the complete opposite. He actually walks beside me, listens, and shows he cares. We\u2019ve been texting, but I know I\u2019m walking on thin ice.<\/p>\n

Am I falling for the sunk cost fallacy by staying in a 5-year relationship where I feel lonely, or is it time to walk away?<\/p>\n
