My boyfriend and I have known each other for about three or four years now. We've been on and off at irregular intervals throughout that time. I believe it's mostly due to how emotional we both are. We used to break up and get back together on a whim and never really thought things out or talked. This time we did talk and made sure we were on the same page. We both want to be loyal and see futures together. However I've been having second thoughts lately. A couple days ago, he had a breakdown. He doesn't tell me everything but I know he suffers from depression among other things. I don't know much about psychological disorders so when he asks for space I give him space. But when he wants space he means not talking to me for days if not weeks at a time. I know this is a delicate time for him but being away that long gives me anxiety. I can't really go to him as we live far from each other. I make sure to check up on him everyday though, and remind him I love him. But I don't know if I'll be able to handle this all the time, ya know? I guess my question is, those who have significant others who suffer, does it get easier? Am I being overdramatic about things? I want to support him but it's hard. idk
