Don't get back with him if he doesn't get longterm therapy and not just meds. He needs to understand WHY he did this so he does not do it when he gets depressed again. Meds can help for a time but since depression supposedly recurs in life when people get off meds, meds stop working, or they have stressors, you need him to understand and have a coping action plan in place for when he gets depressed in the future. Otherwise every time he gets depressed he is going to go on a mania of trying to fill his void with flirting or whatever. Also, in the future, it could turn into an affair because do it often enough and you will find someone not moving across the country for school who wants a H and IS willing to take you up on it.
