I (27F) am starting to lose respect for my boyfriend (43M), and he blames me for all his problems

Awe hun I see myself in you when I was 27. I’m 35 now! My bf is 40. Him and his family are very well off so I got to stay home and raise our twins and my older two from a previous relationship! With covid man we got sick of each other real fast! I got stir crazy and he put all of his shortcomings onto me! Then we got consoling! Worked it out and we are doing a lot better now! We are almost back on track but it’s hard! Relationships are hard and sometimes harder then others! It’s ok! You obviously love him and I hope he loves you too! I would suggest a vacation just the two of you! For my bf n I we couldn’t go far because I won’t leave the kids lol! So we just went to fancy hotels and hit the town a few times! Like it doesn’t have to be an expensive vacation! Just out of the house somewhere romantic! Then maybe it would be a good time in the relationship to seek help for it! Couples counseling isn’t something that marks the end of a relationship but somethings that helps you learn to communicate better and it gives you the tools you need to navigate the relationship in a more healthy way girl! Idk just some suggestions from a woman who’s been through something similar and found the help we needed! You can too! Don’t give up on him! Fight for your relationship and I think you will find peace!
