My partner of 2 yrs has been open with me against his battles with depression. But this last time he was opening up to me, I got scared he’d leave me so I think I said some insensitive things to him. I realized only after the fact how bad I handle that situation. He said maybe we need some time apart 🙁 I agreed because that’s what he wanted and I did not want to push him. But I feel like I was the one who pushed him to the edge. I broke his trust. 🙁 We are not talking to each other after that.
Few days later, after reflecting on what I did, I message him again to apologize for being a jerk and if there is any chance we can start over, to be a better and supportive partner. I’m glad he replied and said he was not mad and he was doing better and he’s been working hard everyday to be better but he don’t know if we will ever go back and won’t ask me to wait for him or anything.
Does this mean he’s ending our relationship? That he is giving up on us? I feel so heartbroken right now. I love him so much and I still am ready to spend the rest of my life with him. He’s worth it. And I would trade anything just so I could turn back time and redo that moment.:(How can I let him know this without pressuring him or making things worse?
TL;DR, My bf and I are spending time apart after I messed up. I apologized but he did not want to get back since he is focusing on himself. He doesn’t want to ask me to wait. But I love him and I do want to wait. I don’t want anyone else. Is he giving up on us? Or is this depression talking? 🙁 How can I let him know I care and I want to be with him without pressuring or making things worst?
