I know it's hard, sweetie. I am divorced, live alone, and know the depths and depression that come with having loved and lost. I try every day to start over, have a good attitude and fresh outlook. It's for me, and not for anyone else to take away.

As for his issues, he's the only one who can talk through them. You can be there for him if you want, but you have realize that you can't save him anymore than you can anyone else. He needs time, and so do you. Perhaps things will work out. I hope so.

I would still take a break from him. It's ok to be lonely. It means you're listening to yourself. As depressing as being lonely may be, it can give way to clarity you didn't realize you had.

Good luck.
