I've been in a wonderful relationship for over a year. It's a great relationship, we didn't become serious until last January. Everything is great and I love him a lot, but (yes there's a BUT), there has been tension in our relationship due to my depression.
I didn't tell him I've been fighting depression for several years now. It took me so long to get into a good relationship because of my depression. I've come a long way, enough to love someone and to let them close enough to love me I really don't want to lose him.
It's a little strange trying to phrase it..... okay let's just say that the problem is I feel so sick and disgusted with myself, that, the relationship won't grow if given then chance.. I'm not talking about sex, I'm talking about anything past holding hands.

theatre and I are there already. I'm having a very berry tea with crackers, cheese and cherry tomatoes and she's having a joint with some beer and we're both on really comfy recliners on thick pile carpet. we need some help with the decor if anyone is around??
If your man is a good guy he may be shocked but it may help him to understand your recent behaviour. A good guy will see through the stigma attached to depression and will probably want to help you given some time to get his head round it. Only a muppet of a man will just run away from a good relationship with a fabulous lady!!
You don't deserve to be with a muppet, so better to see his true colours sooner rather than later! xx
