Hi Depressed and Confused
Welcome to Psych Central. I hear you saying that you believe this is a relationship issue that your boyfriend is laying solely on your shoulders and this makes you question the future of your relationship. I can see why you are depressed. Couples therapy is the best route to take as the relationship takes two. Individual counseling will help you see that it is not all about you, it will give you better communication skills and coping techniques and teach you how to stand up for yourself in the relationship. but you cannot work on the relationship if the two of you aren't there together. you can only better yourself and chances are, you might not like what you see in the relationship when you know what healthy is. and if he isn't willing to grow and change, then what will you do? take care of yourself. you have been working hard. you deserve happy.
