Help with depression please!?

Question:

My boyfriend and I have been together for just over two years. I am always there to listen to him and his family talk about their problems. They have been through a lot lately because his mom just died after a lengthy illness. My bf is a sensitive man, who is not afraid to show cry in front of me. He says he relies on me alot and I am his "rock". But as much as I love being able to help him with his problems and comfort him when he cries, for some reason, he doesn't seem to be able to cope with my feelings when I am down or depressed. If he hears me crying, he either gets mad or ignores me. What should I do? My heart is breaking because I love this man so much, but feel like this is a very unequal relationship....

Answers:
I think that it is unequal too,maybe you should act the same way he does when he gets down.Or maybe start thinking about finding somone else.

Tell him. Don't be afraid to let him know you're pissed and tell him what you said on here: he cries and you help him, so he should do the same for you.

You do need to talk to him and tell him how you feel. He's probably feeling like he has so much going on and is feeling overwhelmed and when he sees you get down, it could frustrate him because he may be blaming himself.

Communication is the key to any long-lasting relationship.

See depression at http://www.ezy-build.net.nz/~shaneris... on page 2

balance is the most important part of any relationship. he has to respect your vulnerability. is it only a show when he is crying? or is he as sensitive as you are? men and women feel things differently and express them in different ways. i get heartburn just writing this and ive only eaten salad and rice tonight. but i am a stranger in a strange land. good luck!

out of my experinece... in a relationship you need to talk, talk, and talk, talk till you have no problems, when you feel like your at the brink of being a "perfect couple" be honest and direct but not rude or pushy, the best thing that can help in depression is the being in the arms of whom you love...
if he doesn't understand that i am afraid your with the wrong guy no offence
avoid too much caffeine (spikes depression), don't sit alone when you don't have to, get out every now and then get some fresh air, enjoy the sun of the summer, do sports if you can, it musn't be a huge killer workout but a simple walk would do as much good,and most important of all ENOUGH SLEEP! (have 6 years of experience with that) hope i didn't bore you, feel free to private me or email me if you need more tips
get well soon =)
