writes:Hi. I've been dating my boyfriend for almost 8 months [11 days until our anniversary]. I have a problem though, he's depressed and I understand that his anti-depressents take a toll on his emotions especially romantic feelings towards me. But, sometimes he gets cold and "neglects" my feelings. I can ignore it 95% of the time because I know it's not him, and plus he can't help it and it's not like he is purposely hurting my feelings. I care for him a lot and he is my first love so I feel very attached to him. We have an age difference of 3 years and we've known each other since our early childhood years. He's going off to college soon too and I came out and directly asked him if he wanted to still date me while he was away to college on the western side of the united states in Canada while I would be on the eastern side of America. I just need to know are there anyways to deal with feelings of neglect from a depressed boyfriend. I'm not going to leave him because I love him very much and he does too. Does anyone have any experience with a relationship like this where one partner was depressed? Any advice would be great. thank you.
