writes:Hello, I am writing again to ask advice from anyone who can help me.a couple of weeks ago I broke up with my partner, of 12months.He was having a lot of problems with minor depression and drinking, and was honest enough to say I can do this.I understand that with me being there was like a support and he felt he was leaning on me for comfort when I was around, then when I left he would fall in a heap, he even told me this in as many words.I know that he was in love with me because when asked he broke down crying saying yes, this makes it really hard in knowing that we are both still harbouring very strong feeling for each other.A week or so ago I received a text message from him saying that he was missing me and could not say how much he loved me enough, he wants me to be strong and make us both proud, but its hard for me knowing that there are still feelings there.And I want to give me space and time, but I also want to contact him via text or email and see how he is, he said he would contact me in a few weeks to discuss catching up, but should I wait till then or would just seeing how he is doing do any harm??Thank you.

 Leave him alone to deal with his drinking problem, (which is most likely the cause of his depression), and get on with your life. It's not your job to be a wet-nurse for some weakling who thinks you're there to lean on. :)
