I'm ok with needy and depressed. My ex is a lovely, warm hearted, entertaining, funny funny guy.. but he could be depressed and needy at times over the past 13 years, I never minded, I found it kinda endearing actually (oh dear). Lovable shall we say. I dont like macho guys, I prefer the sensitive gentle criers !
LOL Ali, you have to be the only woman I know that likes needy and depressed! Just as well we all like different kinds though. I have a saying think I got it off my mum!I'm blaming her anyway. and it is when looking at couples "well at least they don't spoil another pair" You know when you see the most unlike couples and yet it works for them. So deep thought coming up that you will most likely shoot down in flames but here goes.... your x sounds very childlike in away, maybe not the depression but any mum will tell you kids can be tempermental and moody,certainly they are very needy at different stages in their lives, so maybe he brings out your dormant mothering instincts and thats why you quite like it but not 24/7 like a parent is? Maybe that's why many here hate the depression and neediness of their husbands so much because they have or are mothers and done that bit so want more of a man to be a man. Ok I have my hard hat on.
