I'm sorry but am a regular on Mumsnet and have name changed .
Please can I ask the advice of anyone who has experience of depression how I can help the transition to moving in together with Dp .
He has depression and if he didn't love me I wouldn't be so committed ... however we do love each other and I am doing my best to be the best partner I can. Every time we get to almost move in together he bails at the very last minute .
Literally the last minute saying he's scared his depression will pull us all down .
So ... we get the keys to our new rented house next week .
My house has sold awaiting exchange .
His house is up for rental ( comfort blanket he calls it which I'm fine with and am investing in )
He keeps saying he needs space and the new house does have space but not as much as it could tbh .
With his depression I know he needs sometimes to be left alone entirely and have his space .
I love him so much .
Can anyone please tell me how I can help make this easier for him ?
I just want him to feel secure and able to have his space but I can't do that until we actually move in and I can show him that .
