writes:My boyfriend of 2 years suffers from depression when things go wrong. He has recently started a new job after beig made redundant but is not happy there. Last week he told me how much he loved me, glad he had me and thought the world of me. This week something went wrong at work and he has slipped into his depression again. He won't tell me he loves me, he is shouting at me, doesn't want to spend the night with me. He has knocked my confidence for six and I am feeling rejected. I have tried talking to him but he shouts back and says I am giving him grief. I don't want to stop seeing him but my trust and respect for him is not the same. This is not the first time it has happened. He lives next door so it is difficult to not see him. What do you suggest?

 i think you are in a bad relationship and you need to get out of it as soon as you can. you do not deserve such bipolar treatment. it does seem like he needs you though. my advice is to tell him that you want to be there for him to support and that you do love him but you think it would be for the best if you helped him only as a friend for now. a very good friend.
i think you two may want to make an appointment with a doctor because sometimes these things are caused through imbalances in the internal system. if not, maybe find a way to help him diffuse his stress and make him happier.
good luck!

Meanwhile, as he's causing you some grief, I'd break off with him until he gets his head sorted out. He may well come out the other end as a better human being.
