You're right that I should not have approached him again after agreeing to give space. It defeats the purpose. I just felt so frustrated.
We are in therapy because I told him I didn't feel loved, and he admitted that his romantic feelings had waned as a result of my depression. Maybe I'm angry/easily triggered because it feels so unfair. I have to take responsibility for my mental health stuff because it affects our relationship, I go to therapy and take meds. I don't get to just check out and wallow because I understand better now how it impacts him when I do. But what about his mental health stuff and how it affects me? I hate the way he acts towards me when he's stressed or upset, I just hate it. He's so cold and distant, I hate seeing the expressionless stony face. Won't let me in even a little or tell me what's going on. Gets angry when I try. It affects me a lot. I guess I'm harboring more anger about it than I realized.
Your kidding…Right??
