Depressed boyfriend broke up with me?
As the title says. On Saturday, he suddenly broke contact from me, and didn't say a word why. I spent all weekend wondering what I did wrong to him.
On Monday, I finally spoke to him face to face at work. He asked me what was wrong, so I asked him the same thing. He explained that he was in a tough place at the moment. I asked if that was why he dumped me, and he said no. I said, "You don't do that to someone you claim to like."
He said that if it wasn't for his dad, he wouldn't be here today. I asked what he meant, and he said that he tried to kill himself, and that his dad was the one who found him. I personally don't think he could lie about something like that, because both of his brothers killed themselves.
I eventually got around to asking him where we stand, and he said to still be friends. He said he still has feelings for me, but everything's got to him right now. I think he tried to do that because his baby mama kept him away from his daughter, because I know he would never do something like that while she was with him.
This isn't the first episode he's had of depression, either. He had a similar episode last year, but we weren't dating back then. So, I've ruled out that he's said that to get rid of me.
He also said that he still wants to meet up with me, and that we'll talk about it.
I know some people are going to tell me to move on and not look back, but I don't want to make him feel like he has nobody. What can I do?
