My boyfriend and I met two years ago. My life was in the dumps and his was going great with a wonderful job. We both worked in lower Manhattan and he lost his job last October. He has been unable to find employment in his industry since and I have moved on to a different area of my company and am making good money. He has moved to an undesireable location in the city and I went on to buy my own place. He claims that he has fallen out of love with me and is not sure if it is because of depression with his current situation (he thinks he is a failure). He says he loves me so so much, but he is no longer in love with me and no matter how hard he tries he can't find that "spark" we once had. He wants to end the relationship because he insists that he will bring me down with him. I told him that was ridiculous and that if two people care about each other they don't walk away from each other. He says he wants to break up with me because it is only looking out for me. I want to be there for him and support him through his rough times. We care about each other SO MUCH that I think it is foolish to risk throwing everything away. I told him that to break up now with his judgement clouded by his current situation would be unwise. I think we should tough this out together and when his life is on track, then make the decision. This way it will avoid both of us saying, "I wonder what would have happened if" many years later.

PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK. THANKS....
