Hello,

I'm Miyumi ( new here ) and got a question.

I've got a boyfriend for about 6 months now and he used to be quite depressed about 3 months ago. ( He wanted to commit suicide ). He said he was a failure in his parents eyes because he didn't try his hardest in class etc. therefor has to go to a lower education school. Also he told me he stole money from his mom and he felt bad about it ( due to a gaming addiction ).

I told him to confess it to her and eventually he did ( he felt a lot better afterwards he said ).

So now a few months later he suddenly started saying I deserve better, and that he is not special etc. He has been feeling down sometimes but not as bad as before.

He has said it twice now, and I don't know what to think off it.

I have to add that long before we got in a relationship he was a player, dated several girls at the same time. Though quit because he felt guilty and it wasn't the right thing to do. ( He has been "clean" from his player behaviour for about a year before we started dating ).

Question is.. what should I do? and what does he in his case with : you deserve better etc.

xx Miyumi

Miyumi agony auntHm.. okay then.

Thanks a lot :)

By the way, I asked him yesterday why he said it and he said he didn't know, and that is was a dumb thing to say.

Maybe he was feeling down at that moment?

Also I asked him what he meant with it, and he answered: "Exactly as I said it"

Sageoldguy1465 agony auntI think the key phrase in your submittal is this one: "...he suddenly started saying I deserve better,.."

He is correct.... so, don't contradict him. Leave him on his own and get on with your OWN life, without him....

Good luck....
