Relationship ended over depression meds?

Recently I had my s/o of three years end it because they felt more like a “caretaker” than a partner. I was diagnosed with non combat ptsd and general anxiety and the depression that comes with that. I have been on lexapro for a little under two years. In those two years it has been extremely difficult to be intimate with them, both from trauma and lack of sex drive from the meds. I am angry and devastated and feel like I have no recourse of action. I have had another three year engagement end in 2012, and this is bringing up all those same insecurities and fears. They said it may be just a break, or it could be forever. They said they would always love me but we both “need to get better for ourselves”. That was dec 9th, since then I have had to move back in with my mom, was passed over for a promotion, and lost my main means of transportation. They haven’t been in contact with me aside from the occasional hi, and I feel like I am trapped between moving on and hoping they will decide they want to forget the whole mess and move forward.

You will need to move on. I am sorry for your heartache. Sounds like when it rains it pours. You cannot make someone love you, no matter how much you love them. You deserve the love you give do not forget that. Hugs and best wishes.
