Please help

I struggle with depression and anxiety, my boyfriend never has. He asked how he can best support me, I told him I would love it if he could take some time to read a bit about what depression is, so he can better understand.

I have been struggling a lot lately, and he knows this.

I sent him some quick reads, and simple resources. He said he would learn, as he really wants to support me.

3 weeks later, he had not taken anytime to do so still. He has a lot of time on his hands, so that’s not really an issue.

I asked him why he hasn’t, and he said he doesn’t know.

Eventually I asked him again, and he looked up one article, and didn’t even read the whole thing. He made sure to tell me, and then moved on. I made sure to show how happy that made me, and how grateful I was (positive reinforcement). He has had a pattern of not following through in these situations and it really hurts, because I would absolutely do the same/ more for him if the roles were switched.

Does anyone gave any thoughts, I’m just feeling let down and kinda disappointed, am I overreacting?
