I've been holding back from posting on here because I didn't want judgment.. so please, if you're going to judge just don't post. I'm in dire need of some advice. My SO has some serious issues. He's a great person, he truly is. He has a good heart. But he's always talking about how empty he feels. He's depressed. Severely. The further we go into this relationship the worse it gets. It's so bad I don't even know HOW to explain exactly what IT is. He's just an emotional mess & seems to have found comfort in his misery. Like dude finds any reason to be miserable. Everything's always "sh*tty". But yet he says with me.. he feels content.
Now, I've honestly been trying to call quits since this past week. We've discussed homes, marriage, babies. Like I said he's a GOOD person, has a good job, VERY family oriented. He's a good man. Just miserable and has a quite a bit of baggage. He asked that I don't give up on him, stand by him and be there for him. I have no problem doing that as long as he's going to make a constant effort to help himself. I just feel like he's in this for the wrong reasons. I feel like he's trying to fill a void. He promises this isn't the case. I just feel crazy now too. We went from perfect to a disaster in a matter of weeks. I don't know if it's worth it. I love him, I do. But at what point is it not worth the effort? There's so much more to the story I don't want to share. I just feel as if nothing will ever be okay.
