Question:
Answers:
You are wrong in your assumption. Whether to walk away or not, is your decision.
nope i wouldnt walk away it may make it worse.People with depression need all the help they can get.
i understand this situation very wel and empathize with both ou and your boyfriend.....it can be very very hard to stick with someone who is on self distrct.....however there is light at the end of the tunnel for him and you....you havent been together that ong and you already love him dearly stck with it be there for the tears and the triumphs...good luck to you both....neither of you is ever alone....sg
my bf and I both have depression. We argue sumtimes but the depression comes and goes. I say if u love him stay but if ur having doubts and u think it wont work then leave.
How much more are you going to ask for from him? He's going through a tough time, you've asked him to see a counselor; he's doing that. If you love him, then continue to be supportive of him and continue to encourage him to do things... start off doing small things with him like maybe going to the store, or the mall, or the park, before you push him into do crazy wild things.
basically he is on the right track to recovery. it takes a little bit of time, but if he knows you are there for him he will probably come to you when he's dealt with the things that he has to. Unfortunately, you cant take on his problems for him, so you cant fix them, which would make you closer. Ask him to ask his councellor, if there's ways in which you could get involved and support him. Probably if he was on his own, he'd be more depressed, good luck and good on you for supporting him. it's hard but it's the best thing to do. Make sure you dont take on his issues, and that he doesn't bring you down too. you should both be starting to lift up.
Give him his space when he wants to be on his own but let him know you're still there for him whenever he needs you.
Unless he has given you reason to walk away, e.g. been violent towards you etc, then I don't see why you should! You clearly do love this guy to bits!
But rather than coming on here asking for advice, the one person you should be talking to is your boyfriend. Tell him your fears about his depression breaking you up because you feel he's going to avoid you, and take it from there.
Being able to talk openly & honestly is so vital to the survival of the relationship.
I wish you both all the happiness in the world!
will try to stick by him and support him. the thing is remember he will always be prone to depression
i think you should give him space..,give him time to be alone so he can think well..,sometimes people can think well when his alone..,and i think it is better that you will tell him that yo'll gonna gave him time to be alone so he won't think that you left him during his troublesome..,and remind him that whenever he wants you..,your just around..,goodluck!
if you truly love him to death.. as you said, you should be patient and just let him know that you're there for him through "thick and thin" and just keep being supportive. and when he needs his space give it to him, and when he's ready he'll come around.
hope everything works out for you two.

NO just talk to him
Don't walk away it will just make matters worse.
if you love him stay with him for he may get depressed more and he is going to couseling, i would not walk away at this time unless you just dont care anymore, so maybe you can go to counseling with him be glad he is going . be supportive someone needs to be there with him.
I know from experience & lots of $$$ down the drain about relationships with one in depression & the other holding on waiting for the depressed one to get better or return to normal. This guy was / is the medical profession, practicing medicine. The female had her life destroyed because he blamed everything on the girlfriend,distanced himself from her and married someone else. Guess what?...At this time & its 8 years later--he has divorced,broke as a convict and in thousands of dollars of debt,and once again wanting the 1st one he turned away from to leave her relationship & return to him...and now-AGAIN he's severly depressed,trying to make the past girlfriend understand he wasn't in his right mind at the time he married someone else.You know what--he isn't in his right God given mind at this time either.
You go right ahead KNOWING you're pushed away & he wants to be alone-No1 sign of depression--anti social. He's mental,self destructive & will make you believe anything you want to hear. I have his letters forwarded to me at this time from his girlfriend--he's the same as he was 8 yrs ago when he destroyed,crushed a life by turning away from the woman who loved & supported him and she BTW spent several years paying off debts she incurred trying to help him. He didn't pay her back,but turned away! He was driving a big luxury suv (lost it recently-couldn't pay for it,poor Dr so & so)...If I were you I wouldn't walk away---I'd run,put this basket case behind you & except nothing for yourself but a guy/person that has his life in normal prospective. I don't mean this so harsh-but it's the bare naked truth & reality of just a little I've shared about this relationship. I helped pay those bills off--I was there-I know.
Please stop thinking you will make a difference. It will destroy you to the point you will not want to ever be in a relationship. Depression is a sickness and this depressed person was advised to not be in a relationship-yet he destroyed 2 peoples lives. These women were not little unknown nobody people,but successful.He brought them both down.
Don't explain to him--just run backwards in the opposite direction to the greener pastures!
If it was me but im not in the situation i wouldn't walk at the moment because i know i love my BF dearly and i would want to support him but i would say this may be you have to give yourself a time limit may be in three months if things haven't changed that you then have to decided then it's not for you and to walk away. Depressed or not everyone need to feel loved,respected and needed if those needs are not being met and there is a distance between you then this could may you feel unhappy too. A hard decision to make!!
No i wouldnt walk away. I would be there for the person, as you should be if you truley love him. People with depression need a stable environment and need people to be there for them. If you walk away know you might cause your boyfriend to become more depressed, as im sure he loves you aswell. If you stick by him, he'll get through it and he'll love you even more. But it's your decision. x
