Should I break up with him because I'm not strong enough or is it selfish?

[Anonymous]

My boyfriend is battling depression so he is unable to care for me and love me the way he used to. He is seeing a therapist but I don't know when there would be progress because I know that it takes awhile to get better. But sometimes it just really hurts to wait.

What do you need taking care of? Your emotions or your physical body?

If it's just I need his attention ask yourself will you get the same quality attention from a new tinder date or will his be better or you wait?

Sorry, I meant like we are unable to go on dates and do normal couple things like we used to because of his depression. I am undecided if I should break up with him or not just because he's going through a tough time right now. I would feel bad but I just feel like I'm not strong enough. l to go through it with him. Or maybe I'm being selfish. I know that couples have their ups and downs..

Depends how long has it been cause if he is this bad dating
Imagine him being depressed when your married not caring to even take you out!

Cause people don't end things like depression when married they get it worse!

Really probably run now he has to function enough to keep you happy if he won't move then he is not worth it!

I believe you need to figure out what you mean by 'he is unable to care for me'. You should communicate with him about your feelings. Try not to be upset or blame him as you express your thoughts about your relationship. Then see how he responds and go from there.

Sorry I meant like we are unable to go on dates and do normal couple things like we used to because of his depression. I think he knows that it affects me too because he apologizes but still...

It sounds like you and your partner are going through a bit of a rough patch because of his depression. It's totally okay to feel affected by it, but remember, you're a team! Try expressing your feelings to him in a gentle way. Maybe you two can come up with some creative date ideas that work within his comfort zone.

How about turning those lemons into lemonade? Get creative with indoor picnics, movie marathons, or even a DIY spa day at home. Don't forget to remind your partner how much they mean to you. Little gestures of love go a long way!

Sending lots of love and positive vibes your way!

If you feel it's tough for you to handle it's okay for you to breakup. But make sure to talk with her before that and try to have a clean and mutual breakup. Tell him it's not because of him but because you are not able. Don't make him feel like more bad about himself.

But remember, no matter who you choose in your life, he will be surely having bad days also. Even you may get tough time. It's ok you are not able to handle it now. But make yourself to grow stronger so next time when such kind dark days comes you could able to support your partner.

Yes, I think you should break up with him, so he can focus all of his attention on himself.
