re-setting the Matrix

Almost exactly a year ago, A said he was leaving and only a lot of heartfelt words on my part made him stay.

Then, in August he left, thinking he would rather do that than take anti-depressants.

A week later he was back and we said that that was it - we made our best effort to make our relationship work without children.

This time last week, he told me he was going to start taking his anti-depressants again and  that since August, he had "often thought" of leaving.

Last night he told me that he stopped taking the tablets after 3 days because he wanted to live life without them.

This afternoon, he packed his bags with as much stuff as he could carry and left again.  And this time he's not coming back to me.

This hurts so much I don't know if I can stand it.

    You're strong and you will get through this. It may not feel like it now, but you will come out on the other side.

  3. I'm so sorry. I don't know what else to say. I know that trying to say something to to try and make you feel better won't work.
    I'm here.
    Many, many hugs.

  8. Oh this sucks so bad. So many hurts all piled into one. It sounds like his ambivalence about you, life, depression are something you have no influence over whatsoever. Which is so scary. My heart breaks for you and at the same time, I wish for a mate for you that was head over heels about you and not pushing you, pulling you like this.
    You can get through this. I wish I could make you tea and toast or send you somewhere beautiful.

  18. I wrote a big long comment here yesterday, but just realized when I left the comment on your newest post, that I hadn't done the word verification, so this comment never made it. Just want to send you a big hug and tell you that in time you will find happiness - true happiness and it will be better than you could have imagined!
