Should I break up?

You seem torn between a strong drive for stimulation and freedom and a persistent anxiety about loss and loneliness. Given boredom, sexual dissatisfaction, a new person, and repeated respect issues, you would probably end the relationship but practical constraints may argue for delaying action.

Your very high worry score alongside warmth and openness suggests an anxious-attached, novelty-seeking profile, and attachment theory would say you may seek reassurance even as you push for new experiences. Your maximal scores on achievement, pleasure, stimulation, and personal freedom indicate values that may conflict with staying in a stagnant partnership, so leaving could restore alignment with who you want to be. You and your partner align on family and relationship structure but diverge on money and spirituality, and value-alignment theory suggests those gaps could produce recurring friction over time. Because you report limited financial readiness right now, decision-theory suggests timing the breakup to reduce avoidable costs may be wiser than an impulsive move.

Sexual dissatisfaction and feeling a lack of mutual respect point to eroded physical and emotional intimacy, which attachment theory links to weakened pair-bonding and lower relationship satisfaction. That erosion may mean the relationship is not meeting your high stimulation and pleasure needs and could justify ending if repairs are unlikely. You report being physically exhausted and mentally strained right now, which may impair clear decision-making through cognitive load and loss-averse biases. Since you also state you could not afford a breakup today, immediate separation could compound physical and practical stress.

Meeting someone else while feeling bored and valuing stimulation likely reflects motivation to restore novelty rather than purely escaping commitment, and your fear of loneliness may produce internal conflict about leaving. That pattern could lead to oscillation between staying and leaving and might generate regret if acted on hastily. The relationship shows long-term commitment but damaged trust from a past infidelity and a lack of kindness and respect, so it is committed yet strained. Your friends and family seem indifferent and expect a positive reaction from your partner, which may lower social costs of ending the relationship.

You report no active money problems but disagree with your partner about finances, and your priorities for freedom and achievement may require financial independence that is currently misaligned. This mismatch could make long-term plans awkward if staying constrains your career mobility. You state you could not afford to break up right now, which is a clear short-term financial risk and practical barrier. Cost-benefit framing would suggest preparing financial contingencies before initiating a breakup to avoid exacerbating your current exhaustion.
5/6
Here's a couple other options if you’d rather go a different route:
Agree a time-limited trial separation once you have a small financial buffer so you may test whether leaving improves your wellbeing without immediate ruin.
Negotiate concrete changes around respect, sex, and novelty such as regular structured resets or new shared activities to see if the relationship can meet your stimulation and intimacy needs.
6/6
Your values, sexual dissatisfaction, and the presence of a new person point the balance toward breaking up as the action that would better align with who you are and what you want. However, significant short-term financial and emotional costs mean the most coherent path may be to prepare an exit plan and manage timing so you would leave from a position of relative stability.
