Tired, Tired, Tired again

I have been asked if it's more than just my partner who is the problem. I want to be clear that it is solely him, which should reassure you of my certainty about the situation.

The answer is no, it really is just him. I have no problem doing the work I have to do. I have no problem handling the stress. My home life is amazing, and I have no complaints there. I like my job and where I work. I have considered other factors like stress or home issues, but they do not affect me. My partner took Saturday off, and let me tell you, it was my favorite day. It went by so fast. He showed up at 2 PM when we closed, but I was already on the way out, so I didn't even care.

So when people ask me if there is anything other than him, I can say no, that is, nothing else is bothering me. I wish it were not like this, I mean, we have been together for a little over a year now, and I hate to feel this way. We have employees and a new business partner. It feels like I want to leave the family of sorts we've created; I will just be walking out.

Even if you tell them I need a break for a few months, they will not take it lightly. Even my return might not be taken well. But I want to do this, so I don't end up hating anyone. I need a leave of absence
