(24M) My father passed away six months ago. Since then I find my relationship hard to deal with and realise I no longer want to be in a relationship. I want to leave but I don’t know how to explain?

Me and my GF have been together for almost three years, and have lived together since August last year. For the most part our relationship is good, but ever since my father died I haven’t felt the same way. I’ve tried giving it time in case the grief was clouding my judgement, but I feel like I’ve come to terms with the death and still have no desire to stay together, I love her but I can’t be in a relationship anymore. I don’t know how to explain this at all.

If someone has ever experienced this or could give me some advice on how to handle this, what to do, what I could say, it would be much appreciated.

TL;DR - Since losing my father, I don’t want to be in my relationship anymore. I don’t know how to explain this.
