“End a 4-year relationship with a live-in girlfriend”

Lived with girlfriend for 4 years, but realized compatibility issues and felt suffocated by her lack of contribution and dependency on me

What I wish I knew
"Communicate my feelings and concerns earlier"
If I could tell you one thing
"Be honest and direct when ending a relationship, consider the impact on all parties involved"
