Yes, he spent a lot of time on his own as his child (his parents traveled a lot) and does like his alone time. That being said, we see each other for a bit every day and spend every weekend together. So, he doesn't call me only when he needs me. He recently started a new business and is under crazy stress (financial and emotional) to make it work. I'm sure he'd love to see a therapist to deal with his issues (he's open to it), but his health insurance does not have mental health benefits. At this point though, he has no money to pay out of pocket. I have offered to pay, but he won't accept this kind of money from me. So we have a stressful situation and no real way for him to get help. Except for talking to me, which is just causing me my own stress.

I hope your situation improves and am glad your partner is getting help...It's tough to hang in there....you feel for them and whatever they're going through but also have to take care of yourself. I think it can be tough to figure out how much time to give it, especially when you do love someone.
