We ended up deciding (I didnt really want to) That I should give her some space for a week or so, this way if it was just the depression then she'd eventually realise and come back.

Wow....This really touched me....I didn't even make it past this part because I was so touched....This post is coming at a really sensitive time for me....I've been going through things with my bf/child's father....Things related to this very subject....He just....Doesn't get it....And it's not just that he doesn't "get it", there is absolutely no empathy whatsoever....The coldness is alot to handle sometimes....It's the hostility....Do you understand how much I wish he would treat me the way that you did in the part that I quoted? Do you? Instead of calling me a ***** and totally and calmy brushing off my feelings as if they were....Nothing...I have so much to write on this subject..Once I clear my head, and am able to effectively communicate how I feel, I will post on this very subject....And hopefully it will give you at least a slight glance into the mentality of your partner....I have no idea what your relationship has been like up until now...Hell, you could have been a total pr*ck, but what you wrote, what you did for her, I can tell you that that means alot....And if she can't verbalize it for you, I can tell you that it has to mean something to her to have you there for her like that....There are some women/or spouses who WISH that their mate treated them the way that you did when she needed you....To have enough desire to post this online in search of help and understanding...Enough for now....Good luck on your relationship....I can tell you really love her...Because believe me, not alot of men would react the way that you did....Again, good luck...
