Is my boyfriend depressed?
I've been in a relationship with my boyfriend for nearly 2 months now and he has changed so much since we first started dating. He seemed so happy when we were first getting to know each other. Lately, he has been acting very differently towards me. Saying harsh things about me whilst we are together, (he isn't joking, I can tell) being negative about our relationship and it seems as if he is constantly trying to pick fights with me. For some reason I'm always the one apologising, I feel like he is manipulating me. I don't feel happy being in this relationship anymore and he has said himself that he isn't sure about it either. Yet I don't know why he doesn't just break up with me if he no longer sees a future for us. I can't seem to end things with him either because I am holding onto the hope that things will get better between us and work itself out in good time. We are in a long distance relationship so that makes things pretty tough too. I am always the one commuting to see him, making the effort because I want to be with him. He blames his uni work for him not being able to come and visit me, which I do understand to a certain extent. I just feel like the relationship is one sided for the most part. But it wasn't always like that which I don't understand, I'm not quite sure what has happened. On my way home from seeing him this weekend, he was sending very odd messages. One of them being: "I don't enjoy life. I just want to sleep and never wake up, there's no point". I don't really know what to make of it all, I am trying my hardest to understand what is going on. I've told him that he should go seek some professional help but he won't listen to me, he just keeps saying that he doesn't need help. What should I do?
