writes:Okay so it's been a while since I last posted but just a quick back ground on my relationship. I've been with my bf/ fiancee for two years 3 months ( we got engaged about a year ago) we have a one yr old daughter and I'm currently 8 1/2 months pregnant. My boyfriend started acting weird about two or three months ago and he started getting depressed. He admitted he was depressed. I've tried everything in my power to support him and be there for him but he doesn't want my help and says there is nothing I can do for him. It seemed like for a week or two things were getting better but these past two weeks have been horrible. In these last two weeks I've seen him et more and more angry. His phone wasn't working and he actually was so angry he grew violent and threw it so hard that it shattered on our floor and I have never been so scared in my life. I'm literally terrified right now. There's not enough words to describe how angry and threatening he looked. Right after he threw and broke his phone he walked out the door and slammed it so hard the house shook. He is still gone and has been gone for two hours. But honestly I think this behavior is dangerous. Our daughter was even frightened. He has never acted like this in our relationship. And I have never seen him get violent with anything he usually is a calmer person who thinks before they act. I feel almost helpless. I've talked to many friends and family and even his family to see of they have noticed him being depressed and they have all said that they haven't.But anyways here is my question: is this behavior common for depressed ppl? And should I be worried that he may become violent to me or my daughter or our unborn child?

 For just depression, no. There's also mania and depression, alternating between the two. Words to describe depression is stupor, and unfeeling, which is the opposite of how your fiancee behaved.
Depression is not an excuse for throwing things and hurting people. If he doesn't want to get help, in order to have a better relationship with you, at least he has to get on meds to protect the family. No excuse.
