Hi l have recently in the last few days had my partner end the relationship and she has been away but returning tomorrow. I had a number of self pity messages from her on Friday night and she has hardly spoken since Wednesday. Problem is we share a house together and she returns tomorrow l am so scared of what she will do and say.

Hi @john74
I'm sorry to hear that you partner ended your relationship and you are having to go through this. Its always a tough situation when you share living arrangements in these types of situations.
Being worried about what your partner will do or say in this situation is a very normal reaction. It may help to set boundaries, particularly if you will still be living together. Looking after yourself mentally and physically is really important when going through something like this. Discussions can become emotionally charged and can have a big impact on your overall well being, so please remember to look after yourself!
I hope that things today aren't as bad as you were anticipating, but remember that you can reach out on the forums any time for support.
Warm regards
SkySeeker22
