Rly need help, boyfriend said he needs space?

ok so me and my boyfriend hav been together 15 months...i have anxiety which causes me to have fluctuating moods and throughout our relationship ive been kind of moody. i never used to be like this but i think bcuz i rly loved him, i was rly scared he was gunna find someone else, so ive been insecure and i kinda questioned him alot. he is NOT a cheater, he never has, and never would. it was just my own anxiety playing with my head. i told him i would get help for it, but i tried to call places and it nvr seemed to happen.





well now a few days ago we talked and he said he needed space, but we agreed to stay together (we lived together), i just needed to back off a lil to give him time to think. it was hard for me to do that, cuz i was confused why it was like this. i came home from work a couple days later and he said that he was sorry but he thought that i should move home bcuz living together and giving space wasnt really working for us.





i am now living at home, the next town over, and i have barely texted him in the last 3 days and i plan not to at all for a few days to give him time. we arent together, as of right now. he has depression and i think hes stressed with working 2 jobs, not having a day off, paying for the apartment, paying for his car, dealing with his family (they arent rly close to him) and i think he just is confused.





im just wondering for genuine guys (not the 'typical' guy) or for girls have you ever been through this with your significant other, and how long should i give him? he said that we will talk, and if i stay strong and keep going to school and getting the help i need, we will have a better chance of working things out. i am seeing a psychiatrist on friday, and ive been talking to a counseller. im going to school and trying to stay positive. what would be good to make him miss me? not talk to him? i really love him soo much, and i want to work things out now that im getting help. i hope he will see that and realize that i have changed.Rly need help, boyfriend said he needs space?
Leave him alone until he tells you he's ready. I have no idea how long this will be. Focus on your own life and interests for a while, instead of trying to manipulate his feelings. If you pressure him, he might dump you for good.





It doesn't sound like anything in the relationship has changed, however. You're still moody (therapy, even with drugs, doesn't work instantly) and his problems haven't been addressed yet.





If you two get back together, try to make his life easier- maybe you could help with chores more, give him massages, cook, bring him a beer when he gets home, that kind of thing.
