I’ve been separated for almost 4 years and a few months ago, starting dating someone I met online. We live a good 70 miles apart so only see each other when our days off align. He’s met my kids, and they love him, and I’ve met his daughter who seemed to really respond to me.
He was so attentive at the start. He would always message me, wishing me a good morning, asking how my day was, replying when I messaged him. We couldn’t keep our hands off each other. He has since got really busy at work and no longer acts the way he did for the first two months or so. When we are together, things just feel right, but when we are apart, I feel like he isn’t interested. I’ve only ever been with two people and never really had any interest other than them.
I’m not sure if this is making my depression sort of come back. I’ve been on different antidepressants for about 7 years after the birth of my eldest child and, after my husband left, been on one that really made a difference. It was reduced down but I’m feeling like I need to increase it again. I don’t know whether I’m feeling this way because of the relationship or that I just need to up my dose to feel normal again.
Please help. I don’t know how I should be feeling.
