my boyfriend was feeling a bit overwhelmed with everything, and he feels like he is not adequate for a relationship, i thought he was going to break up with me but he said we need to take things slow, one step at a time. He thinks he belongs alone, because he’s mentally unstable, (depression, past suicide attempt 10 years ago, his dad passing etc) but i’ve been around for a few years to know all this. You see we broke up in january but for a while about 6 months, we never cut contact but it was distant for a bit. In May We decided to work it out, later on in September we decided to get a puppy, so now we’re here, theres no one to blame, we both have individual issues to deal with, instead of bringing it into a relationship, we’re in constant contact bc of the dog. I’m just worried about taking breaks sometimes it makes people grow further and sometimes closer, i feel because we do have a constant communication it will grow better, we know what works for us and what doesn’t, this is the last shot. any advice please? thanks for reading
