...with me when I move in a couple years but then doesn't respond to anything in a day.
He has told me a couple times that he's depressed, and I completely understand where he's coming from, but why not open up?
Idk......I really don't want to do this but I don't want to be a push over either...
Sounds like you’ll be better off once this is over and some time spent finding yourself again.
don’t lose yourself
SA1 I've mentioned it to him before but haven't had a sit down serious conversation. He's the stereotypical old-school Italian where men don't talk about feeling because that shows weakness. He's gotten sooooo much better since we first started talking years ago but as someone who goes to therapy weekly, I just wish he'd open up about these things.
So I hear you. I’m with my partner for nearly 2 years and neither of us have said I love you 🫣 but we both are pretty shy and we express love in other ways. Working up to it 🤣 so it’s about whether you feel it or not. I think most people will say ‘you will know’.
Also I just read your other comment that he’s old school Italian, damn mine is too. 🥲 or new-school, idk, he likes to think he not typical.
For me personally the “I love you” is less important than the other things, if I were in your shoes (which I’m not). I’ve been with my partner for 2ish years. He displays some classic avoidant behavior and stereotypical “male” ideologies like not opening up too. But for me, I have decided I’m okay with it (for now) and the only thing I can control is myself. If these things bother you and you’ve communicated it to him, you should decide if you’re okay with basically waiting for him to grow with you. What would bother me the most is going to the casino and basically going MIA… and blocking you on FB. Depressed or not, that’s not being a partner to someone. I’m sorry you’re at this crossroads but as someone else mentioned, you’re in the drivers seat. No relationship is perfect and there isn’t a cookie cutter guide to who the perfect partner is, but it boils down to what you’re willing to be okay with. Whatever decision you make, I’m sure it will be the right one for you.

His actions aside, do you love him? Is he a good partner to you? When you make a list of traits you’re looking for in a partner, does he check those boxes? You’re in the drivers seat of your life, not him.
EP1 crazy enough, he's typically a great partner. We work different shifts but we've both gotten better with compromise in the past year and he's supported me through some truly tough times. I've always had a "type" before him but he's not even close to that type and we just mesh so we'll.
Some days I can honestly see myself spending the rest of my life with him but others he just drives me up a wall. Like my mom would say, what man doesn't, though 😂
