Any advice welcome please!
I'm in a relationship with a lovely man. His situation is: two teenage kids, divorced 8 years but no financial settlement yet because ex wouldn't accept what he gave and what she wants was too high. He is working on a new startup for the last 2-3 years and it is moving forward well now. To do this his day job is levels below what he used to do and a resulting paycut.
He had a very conservative Christian up bringing and no divorcees in the family. Therefore he sees like he has failed in all aspects of life.
He is a warm loving and thoughtful partner and a very hands on father. A pretty decent folk of course not perfect.
He goes down the hell hole of being a failure in the eyes of his family and beats himself about it. He is very hard on himself. He can't afford a psychologist now. I hate seeing him down but don't know how to help him. He also doesn't beleive or understand that I would want to be with him despite him having nothing (material that is) to offer me. Cant take it that I am with him because I love him and i know he loves me. I Am recently divorced but "sorted" life.
Can I help him? What can I do?
Does it get easier? This is getting me down.
