Thank you so much for your reply. It really helps to hear the other side.Especially from someone who can relate to the chronic pain. He hid so much from me that I didn't know the extent of how much pain he was in. I understand now how hard things are for him. I have stopped the emotional melt downs, I have given him space but not texting as much -only the 1/week he wanted. I am now starting to take care of myself as I know I can't become a mess as it isn't healthy. He said he needed space from me and It is so hard to hear that as I was living with him every day and now we only speak 1/week. Its completely heartbreaking to see this amazing person suffer so much and I can't do anything to help him. He understands he is depressed and knows he needs to call and see a therapist but he just isn't doing that for fear of years of unspoken/unresolved issues he never dealt with.
