Now that you mention it, I'm actually an introvert; he's more extroverted. When we would order food, he'd always want to eat out, I'd prefer to get our order to go. Now that I'm depressed, I'm trying to prevent myself from sinking in because I spiral pretty fast. He's not asking to go out as much, I am. I'm trying to avoid the apartment, because I could very easily sink into the bed and not move. He's not asking to go to the movies or out to eat as much as he used to. I've been trying to encourage him but maybe he really is depressed. I really hadn't thought of his slow turn towards introversion until Skeezy mentioned not wanting to go out much. =/
My therapist wasn't sure. She mentioned that due to his history - he was raised in a strict, Christian household - he may not have had a chance to develop his identity fully. So he sort of latched onto mine. And now that I'm depressed, that dynamic is out of whack and he's no more sure what to do than I am. Because the thing is, the reason this is partly an issue is because we DO enjoy spending time together, interacting, but right now, nothing is overlapping. I can't just sit indoors and watch tv, that is exactly what I do when I've given up.
