brokenandconfused Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 My boyfriend and I just broke up a couple days ago. It was rather out of the blue, as one second we were kissing and he was calling me "baby," and the next we were breaking up by his choice. I couldn't say anything to change his mind. He suffers from depression and I can't help but feel like that is the cause of his inability to continue in our relationship, not because of how he feels about me. He used to do anything and everything for me. Surprise me with flowers and food, take me on wonderful dates, write me sweet cards and spend all of his time with me. He was so serious about me so quickly and was certain that I was his soulmate. We have amazing chemistry and I have never met another human I clicked with so instantly. I'm having trouble letting go because I think he is the one for me. And I think his feelings may be lost because of the deeper problems he deals with within himself. I want to be there for him and I don't want to give up on him. I can't tell if in a week he will realize this is a mistake, or if he just doesn't feel the same and he's done. I'm just not understand how he can go from feeling so much love for me to feeling nothing. What should I think? What should I do? Any feedback would be helpful.
Morro72 Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 Is he being treated for depression? If not, the first and most important step is to get him treated. It's extremely difficult to address relationship issues until that happens. This is what any good professional will tell you but it's also a good summary of my married life, which changed for the better once my wife got treated. It can be a slow process, so be patient.
