Broke up due to depression
My boyfriend and I broke up last night.
I told him I wasn't happy with how he was treating me (growing distant, seeing me less often, not responding to texts), and that if there wasn't an excellent excuse for his behavior and a real resolve to change we'd have to end it. It turns out he had the former but not the later.
He has been suffering from depression for many years, and it has been getting worse this past month or so. He felt like he couldn't be there for me the way I needed him to be and that sustaining a relationship was no longer something he was capable of.
I said I would stay with him and be a support, but he thought it was better to end it. He said I'm the person closest to him and the only person at college he's told. We both still really care about each other just as much as before, but continuing our relationship isn't the right thing right now.
My question: Do you think there's any chance we could get back together eventually? We're on good terms and I'm staying friends with him. If there's ever a time when he feels more in control, is dating again even in the realm of possibility?
