Hi Claire,

My partner contracted Bacterial Meningitis 6 months ago and his health is up and down. He feels depressed and just doesn't feel good about life, not to mention the mood swings that he has when I say something and he thinks Im reacting. Now our relationship is on the rocks because he thinks Im not listening when Im doing the best I can to be there for him, he tells me he needs space and I give it to him, sometimes when I tell him that he has got it wrong its because he has got it wrong but its hard for him to admit that, before he got sick he has always got everything in control and I know that he has but at the moment sometimes he just gets it wrong most the time now, I just dont know what to do, everything I do seems wrong.

He has decided to end our relationship and broke off our engagement because he thinks it wont work with so much stuff going on and he thinks Im stressing him out and I agreed to it and just said if he needs to heal then I respect his decision. I am still love with my fiance and he said he is still inlove with me aswell but what do I do, he is confused and I am confused now too because I want to do whats right for him and I want to do whats right for our love too, that this is not just his battle its ours both. We still live together and he wants us to be friends but it hurts me to see him everyday and just carry on like nothing happened.

Thanks
