i would greatly appreciate a male's perspective on this, my man seems to be drifting away from me and wanting to break up. he says i deserve better; we are different, he will always love me but we will not be happy. he has nothing to offer me, ...... i have been very supportive during his depression (which has been going on now for over a year); and is it possible to have been too involved, trying too hard to get him motivated, to do therapy, to offer solutions so he could see the brighter side of things... he tells me i am the forever optimist and that his life has past him by. he is better alone, noone to disappoint, etc.. generally he had always said he didn't need space, or alone time; throughout the depression we do not live together but we were together almost every night. we called each other, and he would isolate from everyone else, even his mother (listening to the phone ring and the answering machine picking it up; or just turning his phone off all together) but he was with me. he began isolating from me when i started taking time to myself to spend with family and friends to recharge my batteries (because he will not leave the house except to go to work or to the store), he would be upset and would not call, email or respond to my calls or emails. he distanced himself further and further from me and now seems "out of love" because i am refusing to allow myself to become depressed. i love the man, i just do not know what to do?
