“He’s fallen into a pit of apathy and depression and only doomscrolls or lays in bed. He acts like the victim, and everyone is at fault. Even if people do what he wants, it’s not good enough. All he ever does is constantly disagree and claim he is misunderstood.”
She’s done her best to be sympathetic, as have other people in his life, but he’s pushing everyone away for reasons she can’t understand.
She attempted to fix things recently with him by playing some games with him or spending quality time with him, but nothing is helping.
There’s no longer an ability for her to connect with her boyfriend, let alone feel happy or safe with him.
All he wants to talk about when they do speak to one another are dismal, dreary, tragic topics. She thinks this has literally become her boyfriend’s new personality, which is sad.
“He doesn’t engage with me like he used to, and he’s isolated himself,” she continued. “He’s just truly, utterly detached.”
“So many people have told me to leave, and honestly, after typing this all out, I really ought to. It’s obvious he has lost the ability to love anything, including me, because of how sick he is.”
“But what can I do during this process to help him grow or see reason? It will take my time to find a place to move to since I only earn minimum wage, but when I do, what can I say? Or what can I do to help guide him into being a better, happier person again when I’m gone?”
