I myself is on the same boat as everyone on here… I’ve been with my partner for 15yrs. We pretty much live together for the past 5 years, I say that because I still have my own place that we now just use as an extra storage and for family visits etc… But anyway, she’s currently having a mild anxiety/depression episode, which she had asked me to stay in my apartment as she needs space and time to figure herself out, today is now the 15th day that we’ve been apart with very little to no communication. Since then I’ve seen her twice to pick up things from her place, both times has been nice, we both said that we miss and love each other. She also told me that she needs this time apart to find herself and figure her own happiness so we can both be happy with the relationship later on. It’s nice and comforting to know how she feels about me and our relationship, but I’m still having a hard time as I miss her so much. I assured her that I will always be here for her anytime she needs me. She had spoken to a therapist 2years ago and was prescribed meds as she was found to have social anxiety… She now stopped speaking to the therapist (via text) but still taking meds.

I know that she will get through this, but I myself is also having a hard time. I have not spoken to any of my friends or family about this as I’m not sure if she’s comfortable with people knowing what she is going through… and also I’m not as close to my friends now as I was before, so I’m really just by myself here which makes it even harder. Nights and weekends are the worst as that would be usually time spent together.

This just sucks…
