writes:My partner has asked for some space to sort through his issues. He suffers from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder(OCD) is very depressed and has self harmed. My mother has recently died from cancer and he was fantastically supportive but I have found out that he has had an affair with soemone from work who he says was able to give him emotional support when I couldn't. He says I have never seen his emotional needs as important as my own and have refused to do things like move to another area of the countryWe have been together 9 years and I love him so much. Being away from him is so hard and is open ended. I am finding the uncertainty unbearable - any advice?

reader, anonymous, writes (25 July 2008): Ok, i admit difficult situation, quite harsh in fact. But NEVER go out with someone because you feel sorry for them, and come on that's the only reason you are continuing this relationship, that and because you feel you owe him something (For his support). Also he had an affair! and thinks your not paying enough attention to his needs; break it off, and remain friends, you are obviously not fulfilling him, and he is certainly not fulfilling you and is doing someone else at work with a feeble excuse.
Good luck, let me know what happens
