i’m dating this guy and recently he wanted to take a break from the relationship because of his mental health. i believe him and all because he goes to therapy constantly and he takes anti depressants. he even shares some of his trauma with me from time to time.
we’re both in high school and though we once used to attend the same school, he moved away and since my parents wouldn’t let me see him, we only ever talked on the phone and that’s it. during our late night phone calls he’d sometimes go on mute and hide his face (hiding the fact that he was crying). when this would happen, i would stay on the phone and comfort him. sometimes i’d ask him what’s wrong but he wouldn’t tell me. so i just let it be and kept reminding him how much i love him and that i’m always here for him. this has been going on for 4 months straight. he’s just been mentally unwell and decided it was best for us to take a break just a few weeks ago. since then, we haven’t contacted each other as much, but we’ve been sending small texts to each other and having short convos on the phone while he was at school. normally, he’d be the one to call and text first but he stopped eventually. i figured that since we were on a break, he wanted to distance himself from me further. so i didn’t bother texting him or calling him at all. for a straight week, we didn’t have any contact with each other. but then i decided to text him out of nowhere and he responds. he even calls me and asks me what’s up. i tell him everything he’s missed out on and i ask him if he still wants to talk to me. he tells me that even if we’re still on a break, he wants me to text and call him regularly. so that’s what i do from now on. but when i do, his responses are so dry, it’s either he doesn’t wanna talk or something’s been going on with him. i really can’t decide whether i wanna ask him what’s wrong or just let it be. what’s the best thing to do in this situation? i love him so much and i wanna do what’s best for him.
