We were not healthy for each other at all. I'm not "close" with my ex. We text each other every once in a while to keep tabs on what's going on in our lives, but that's the extend of it. He's depressed and has virtually no support system, so I worry. I am aware he's not my responsibility.

That's what I think now too, after some contemplation. It would make sense.

Thanks, for clarifying!

Perhaps another conversation would be worthwhile?

Either that, or you just accept his stance for now, though that would upset me (if it were me), and feeling insecure is not a healthy place to be in a relationship.

What's the big deal in saying you're in a relationship and giving it more of a label, if you're crazy about each other? I don't get it. Seems a bit controlling on his part... withholding.
