Hey everyone
I've decided to tell my partner I want to break up I don't really I really love him but things haven't been great and I can't take anymore I'm so low. I feel ĺike this is going to sound awful but I would rather know. Basically my partners suffered with depression for around 3 years now he's tried different medication but nothing improves, we are at the point he doesn't show anything for me, I'm so lonely, he doesn't say nice things to me he doesn't do anything to show he loves me, its been like it for over a year now and no matter how hard I try nothing helps, I've asked him to seek more help but he doesn't. He just sits in his game type room for hours. The only emotion I've seen from him In a year is anger. And I'm at the point of causing arguments because I just want a relationship. I take care of him I do all the cooking and cleaning laundry etc, he is signed off work and has been for the two years and I've not asked for any help all I've asked is he works on trying to show some sort of emotion again.

Do I just sound like the most selfish person in the world?

Xx

No. Everyone has a breaking point.

You have to tell him what you have written here and say that it really is make or break if you want to give him one more chance to make the effort to save the relationship else that’s really it.

Game over.

I have every sympathy that he is unwell but he needs to pull himself up and take steps himself to improve his mental well-being.

You are being supportive but it has to come from humans seeing that so far he is not prepared to reach out for help then perhaps he needs to stand on his own two feet by himself, without you there.
