Hey girls.. well, he DID finally call the number for counselling and left a message, but thats all so far. He cant be bothered because of his depression - its not the phone call or making an appointment, its what comes fter he said (the effort I assume). He's been better since Friday though, because we went home for the weekend and were around old friends. He said socialising makes him feel better (distractions).
Cyrena, wow, I think I said before that your H and my bf sound so alike, with the domineering parent and minimising that affect on him and the people pleasing and low self esteem.
And you are so right! I was doing it for him in our old R, but I have not wanted to do that this time around and only researched supplements etc after he had asked for my help. I also looked for a support group online (after here helped me so much!) for partners of depressed people. One of the first things I read said to state that they need to do more to help themselves. I never did this before, I thought you cant 'tell someone' they have to want to get help. But I do intend to be a bit firmer about this, because I wont ever be getting M or having children at this rate and it is draining on me sometimes.
