Today, after years in a relationship I realized that my partner does not like the music I listen to, the food I cook, the pictures I take, the way I dress. The only thing she likes is when I take her out to eat. FML

I know it sounds mean, but you should be with someone who appreciates you for you, OP. You may have been together for years, but you may be better off with someone else

That's the best type of Girlfriend, she hates your shit but still puts up with you, and best of all she is doing it for food. In my book, it is an even trade.

The only thing my wife likes about me is my skill at paying bills.

If you've been in a relationship for years and are just now noticing, it's probably not your relationship but as you mentioned a change in your life. I wouldn't jump at dumping her, if it was fine up until you suddenly realized it, there probably isn't anything wrong that can't be fixed. I think if it was a huge issue, you'd have noticed before. Talk to her about it. See if there really has been a change or if one of you is just having a hard time. Don't jump to call it quits without a little effort.

I suggest seeing a therapist if your not already. It just seems to me based on what u said that you have no common interests which can make a relationship challenging. If you two genuinely enjoy being together then start doing things that she likes with her. I.e going to movies and another time doing something that you like. Every relationship has its own needs. Best of luck op!

After years in a relationship, looks like you need to find another.

I ain't saying she's a gold digger..........

I highly doubt someone would be in a relationship that long for free food. Why does she have to like your music when you may not necessarily like hers? I sense something else is the issue here..

It is interesting that those are the things you choose to define you

The same kind of thing happened to me. My ex boyfriend and I started going out when we were very young. Eventually we both grew up and had nothing in common anymore but it took us both ages to realise it- sort of like when you see a person so often you don't notice them aging and then it's a bit of a shock when you look at a picture of them from years ago. I was devastated when he broke up with me but it was for the best. You may be better of with someone who enjoys being with you and who you have more in common with.
