i (early 20’s f) have been dating my partner (early 20’s m) for a few years and during this hes been very clearly depressed. he’s only recently started going to therapy after pleading with him for pretty much the entirely of our relationship and he’s been diagnosed with a few things. his depression makes him essentially a brick wall. nothing makes him feel better, the whole world is out to get him, and if he gets even slightly depressed over something it ruins his whole day. i also have depression, and i’ve also started seeing a therapist, and it just feels like i’m drowning in both of our problems. he keeps saying how much he hates therapy and feels like it’s pointless, he feels like all they do is peddle drugs (which they don’t, he just has a bone to pick with medical professionals because he’s spiteful) and doesn’t open up as much as he could. he uses me as his personal therapist most of the time and i can’t take it any more. i’ve asked him to stop dumping all his feelings on me every other day and it’s done nothing if not make it worse. i can’t take it any more. i don’t want to break up with him but he doesn’t even want to try to get better.
tldr: boyfriend doesn’t want to get better, i’m tired of being his emotional support girlfriend and not a partner in an adult relationship.
