What should I do if my boyfriend has depression and wants to break up with me?

Answer by  turkinforalivin (1279)

You can't control what somene else wants to do. If you love him, let him go and he'll come back to you if it was meant to be.

You need to ask him if he thinks he needs to be on some medication. Tell him you will be there for him through the hard times and will be his friend even if you guys break up

I suffer from depression myself and I know it can be very hard to have a relationship with someone who hasn't experienced it. Perhaps you should offer to join a support site for partners of people with depression and offer to learn more about his condition to help you understand it (and him) better. Remind him he is worth it.

you let him go, because you don't want to make him unhappy, and you stay his friend. He may or may not change his mind later on, but he IS his own person and you can't change that.

If your boyfriend has depression then I don't think you should break up with him, I think you should try your best to be there for him and explain to him that you will always be there when he needs to cry, talk, or needs someone to listen to him.
