Hi there...that makes perfect sense, so thankyou. We have been slowly building contact again, but its still very much all on his terms. Theres been a change today though, a major one. He emailed me to say he had been to the doctors and is diagnosed with depression and that he is on anti-depressants. He said he had to go as he was very low and wasnt sure "where it was going to end up", which sounds very serious. He said he had been feeling this way for years "as you well know" - as I did! I tried to tell him when he left me that I thought he had depression, but he insisted that he didnt.

So now, I;m not sure what the chances are of us reconciling, but at least he has opened up and been honest at last, with me and with himself, which is amazing. But now what? My instinct is to reach out to him if he feels that low, but I guess thats not the right thing to do DB wise, but maybe that changes in the face of his depression?? Or maybe not. Its a confusing time alright !
