Seeking Advice on a Struggling Relationship

Dear GhanaWeb,

I find myself in a difficult situation in my relationship. I have been with my boyfriend for over four years, and in the beginning, everything seemed perfect. He was loving, attentive, and made me feel cherished. However, things have changed drastically over time.

He has become distant and cold, barely communicating with me and making me feel unimportant. I feel like I am the only one putting effort into keeping our relationship alive. Conversations with him leave me feeling drained and heartbroken.

Despite being together for a significant amount of time, he avoids any discussions about our future together, such as marriage. He has also become emotionally absent and does not contribute financially to our relationship.

Recently, I realized that all the investments and sacrifices I have made, including contributing financially to buying land, have left me feeling used and taken for granted. The land is registered in his name alone, and I am left with nothing in my account after supporting him financially.

I am at a loss about what to do. Should I continue in a relationship where I feel unloved and disrespected, or should I walk away and start rebuilding my life? How can I retrieve my share of the land and the money invested when everything is in his name?

I feel lost and unsure of how to move forward. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely, FG/EB
