Helping fiancé who has depression

My fiancé has depression, and this year it seems like it has gotten a lot worse for some reason.

Sometimes it’s hard for me to know how to help him or make him feel better. I’ve been trying my best to be more kind and understanding, spend time with him, and be there for him.

But sometimes I wonder if I’m being a burden by staying with him because it seems like he’d rather be alone. I know depression can make someone feel overwhelmed and stressed, and sometimes I worry that the things I do might add to that stress.

You are putting a lot of care and effort into this relationship. You sound like such a kind person.  In your last  post, you stated that your boyfriend told you that he might want to see other women in the future. Perhaps if he could decide what he wants out of life, then you could decide what you want out of life. Your boyfriend is fortunate to have such a good woman in his life.
