My boyfriend is depressed and pushes me away. Please help!!!?

Question

Hello, my boyfriend of 3 months is really depressed, and pushes me away.. He says he does want to be with me but he needs some time and space.. I am really confused I don't know what to do.. I don't know how to find the balance between giving him the space he needs and being there for him. I don't want him to think he's not important for me, even tho he's the one pushing me away.. Everything was going really good before this, now he's acting differently with everyone(not only me) and he just want to be in bed.. He's not happy with his life.. I truly love this guy and I wish I could help him and show him I really do care and I really want him to be ok... Please help me.. Thanks

Answer 1

Don't push him, accept his decision, but let him know you're worried, you care, and you'll be there for him. Then try to be within sight range of him whenever he's around, but don't get too close for comfort.



He might be grieving about something. Possibly the loss of a loved one. Don't investigate too deeply without telling him, because he might take it as a breach of trust, especially with how young your relationship is.



You may want to leave a letter for him to pick up and read at his convenience about how worried you are and how you'd love to talk in person and help him with what's bothering him.
