Depression and feelings

I really do love my friend but he said he has no feelings . Is it possible he is holding back or his depression medication stops him from having feelings??

Before I move on I wonder if I should confirm he does not have any feelings before I move on? I seem to come back to him but cannot wait for him . I need to move on .

Sorry the relationship you have is a bit rocky at the moment I understand may marriages and relationships are failing in the UK as Lock Down still goes on

If you are in the UK shops etc are beginning to open and things are getting back to some sort of normality.

Depending on your Partners His depression may be affecting his mood, I know sometimes I have the same problem happens and I can be very quiet and can suffer mood changes. Personally I do not know what to advise, Because of the Lock-downs. He may be better given time.

Generally you need to talk, no matter how difficult the situation is, You need to put your mind to rest before making that final decision. However if you feel the relationship is gone. Remember we all need to make unpleasant decisions in Life

You need your happiness, having the wrong person can make life so very sad and problematic. In a way it feels you have made your mind up. Over the last ten/eleven weeks Lock-down has really shown many people are not suitable together.

We both have had some rare generally stressful times although been married we understand each other and we can agree to disagree.

You know this person and also remember what the relationship was before this problem

All I can say is do not cut yourself short, Consider Relationships can be really habit forming sometimes they can be similar to taking strong drugs, where you need to understand it may be , withdrawal may be recommended and you will once again notice those blue skies and find someone who is waiting for you
