Thankyou for all your replies. They have helped me greatly.
Again, he recently took a huge dip in his mental health and totally broke it up with me. I knew he was a mess. He had planned it and I got into my car to go to work and all my things that were at his parents house were in my car. I got very angry with him and told him I didn’t want him anyway. A few days later he phoned me in absolute histerics and had 2 panicked attacks. Of course I stayed on the phone to him and calmed him down until he fell asleep. He then started phoning me everyday saying that hearing my voice was soothing for him. We agreed he had to go to the doctor and try his best to stick at it this time. And he has. He is in medication and has finally started to open up to me, which is amazing. He hasn’t seen his child in about 2 months now as the mother has shut him off and won’t let him. I don’t soeak to him about it unless he brings it up. It’s very clear that she doesn’t want him to be in his sons life. I’m not sure what he wants to do but I will let him sort it out in his own time.
He told me that the way he dealt with his relationship with me was very cowardly and told both me and his close friend that he should not have done it but wasn’t thinking straight.
I finally think (touch wood) that he has turned a massive corner and the best part is I think he’s seeing how much of a rock I’ve been to him. He seems very grateful.
On the other hand, I’m not giving my all to the relationship as I feel it has been so up and down that I have to protect myself. I’m letting him show me the effort he wants to give me. He knows I can’t go through anything like that again as I know it will have too much of an impact on my own mental health.
I guess I know that we now have to take things slowly and back to the start as it were. Which isn’t a bad thing, at least we are improving.
Fingers crossed we can now move forward.... obviously it’s not going to me roses everyday but the improvement that have been reached are definitely worth fighting for now

@Kimarianatyson hello, I’m so sorry to hear of everything you’ve gone through.
My advice to you is that you cannot force him to want you to help him. Try leave him alone for a bit but let him know that you are there for him. Remind him with a small message every day or so that you are there if and when he needs you. Take the pressure off him a bit as he can’t cope and trying to resolve anything when his brain is effectively mashed potato means that he can’t express what is going on in his head or make sense of it himself.
Take the pressure off yourself aswell and don’t think of your relationship as having a label at the moment. Just be there for him. If he wants to speak to you make sure you just listen, don’t give him too much to listen to on his part. But always be there if he does reach out to you.
most importantly keep yourself and you child happy.
Good luck and keep in touch

Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstances. I give God all the glory for bringing Lord Zakuza into my life for helping me get my wife back that got me divorced for one year. I was the last person on earth to accept the fact that spells exist or work not until I was referred to Lord Zakuza online to who has helped so many people with his powerful spells. I had no other option than to give it a try because 3 months after the divorce, I was demoted at my place of work due to depression for I don't know what to do to get her back but thank God today for using Lord Zakuza to get my happiness and love life back within 48 hours. Just last week here, I was promoted back to my position and I'm here to share my own experience with this man called Lord Zakuza. I don't know what you are going through today but know that in all situation there's always a way out. Lord Zakuza also prepares spells like Lottery spell, job spell, spell to stop a divorce, spell cure for any diseases, protection spell, spell to become successful and wealthy E.T.C.

I take each day as it comes, try to have a focus for that day. Today is pretty good, but it gives me a nudge every now and again. H

Hello, I’m in real need of advice. I’m in a new relationship with someone who I absolutely adore. We just clicked. He has a baby with an ex who makes things difficult for him, he wants nothing but to step up and be a dad to his son but she plays games with him like not putting him on the birth certificate etc which I know destroys him. When this first happened it was me he turned to - I’ve spent many a night cuddling him while he cries and he’s told me that he couldn’t do this without me. Now, however, it’s obviously getting all too much for him, I can see he’s been struggling and all I want to do is be there for him and show him that I care. I suffer from depression myself but I feel he falls a lot deeper when he feels down than I do. I know that I understand him and I want him to let me in like he used to. I made a mistake and while having a bad day, I said a negative thing about the mother of his baby that I should not have done. On the same day I did this he told me he didn’t know what he wanted anymore, wasn’t sure if a girlfriend is what he wants just now and he needs to take a step back and work out what he wants. We still speak as he said he doesn’t want to shut me out and when we speak on the phone he still says he loves me, I haven’t seen him in a week. I know I need to give him space, he asked for a bit of time. I’m struggling with him wanting to speak to me but not being sure if he wants me. I really need some guidance and help. Am I over thinking this? Or should I prepare myself for it ending? How can I be there for him? I will do whatever it takes. I apologised to him for what I said and explained myself and he was glad that I had apologised and understood me
