Hi,
I'm really just looking for a little advice. I have recently started dating this guy. He's 32 and has separated from his wife for about 8 or 9 months.
Basically everything was going great, but it was his wedding anniversary last week and he is a very emotional guy and he's suddenly started acting differently, not really talking, not eating properly, crying a lot, just generally not acting 'himself'.
From everything I've been looking at online the way he has been acting makes me believe that he could be depressed. He suddenly broke up with me saying he's not in a good place at the moment and doesn't want me to have to 'put up' with him when he's like this.
And please believe me this post is not me being upset that he's effectively broken up with me (whilst I am upset) This post is more about concern and wanting to know how to help him.
So what I am looking for is a bit of help and advice on what I can do to support him. I promise you all this is NOT about what I can do so we can get back together I just don't like seeing him like this and really want to try and help work through this with him.
Has anyone ever dated anyone with depression? I'm just not sure what to do to help him. I text him every now and again (I try not to message him all teh time as I dont to annoy him) I basically just let him know that I am here for him if he wants to talk and if he needs anything then he can call me - he does always respond I am just wondering of there is anything else I can do
Thanks
