So, long story short I've been wuth my boyfriend for a year and a half and we've lived together 9 and a half months. We've know each other 9 years, and previously dated for a year.

We broke up the first time because he went into depression and thought i was better off without him. I didnt understand what was going on. I moved forward and he came looking to get back together 2 months later. A couple of years wemt by and we tried again. We moved an hour away from everybody.

He has chronic depression, ptsd, and a slight bipolar "issue". And I'm madly in love with him.

He came to be on Tuesday and told me that he loves me and my kids, and he has nothing to complain about, he has everything he had ever wanted, but he's still unhappy and its not fair to us. He wouldnt discuss working through it. He was the most upset I've ever seen him, he said telling me was the hardest thing he ever had to do and that he's more "messed in his head than he thought."

I feel like he's overwhelmed due to outside factors and its magnified being home. I want to offer to move closer to his friends and family. There was a financial issue recently that really stressed him out as well. I also feel like if he actually did more family things with us he may feel less overwhelmed with the family lifestyle. Right now its always me and the kids, then him. His participation is putting the little one to bed and discipline. He doesnt experience the other side of it. I even offered to go to therapy with him.

Its almost been a week and its killing me inside. I know he hurts and i dont know what to do. I dont want to let him go, but dont know how to approach this or if my theories have any validity. Ive never had the struggles he does, i don't...i can't fully understand. I was hoping for some advice!
