I broke things off with my partner yesterday largely because they were going through waves of depression for the last year, and I found myself getting lost in the depression and feeling trapped. I wanted to be there for them as much as possible but I am young and it was taking a toll on my. I deeply regret the decision I made and I did call them and ask to have a conversation about it in person. I left because I needed to find myself again and for them to get better in hopes that we would get back together, but they did not realize that I wanted to get back together. I guess that I want to know is if anyone has ever experienced something like this, and if so, how did they make it work? We both love each other dearly, and we both had a very rough time coping with this.
