I need help trying to figure this situation out. I have read a lot about this, but in my case it differs a bit, because we have talked things through and we still talk everyday which gives me hope, yet I feel so hopeless. Anyway..
Long story short. My boyfriend for the past 5 years lost his mother. He takes care of his dad all the time and of course worries about him a lot. I think he hasn't fully grieved until now and he has many signs of the depression stage .. It has been hard on our relationship, no fights but just the love factor.. A week ago I brought up the love between us and he just started to cry and said that he wanted to break up, he wanted to take time for himself. He couldn't handle our relationship right now and he didn't have the strength for it, he doesn't know how to do it right now. He loves me and he wants to, but he simply can't and he thinks that I deserve better. It was so difficult to hear... Especially since we have had a strong relationship, but after the death he has held his emotions for himself.
Is there anyone who is in the same position and can give some advice..?
