I'll have to read that link, myself.

I understand depression can be hard and taxing on someone, but I also don't think it's an excuse or a cause to mistreat someone to this degree. He sounds abusive and I think you know this, or you wouldn't have posted in the 'Survivors of Abuse" section.

For all it's worth, you ended this relationship because of his abuse, blame-games, jealousy, communication styles, and avoidance tactics. HUGE and valid reasons. When you expressed your concerns, he escalated, blamed you further, and did not apologize for a single thing.

For example, had he said, "I'm so sorry for avoiding you so much. My depression really takes a hold of me and I isolate myself from the world. I don't want to hurt you.. I just don't know how to cope with it." ... with this, I'd be more empathetic to his mental state. I wouldn't necessarily stay in this relationship because it was a new one to begin with.. depression can be lifelong. But, he said nothing remotely close to it. He's a gigantic RED FLAG for abuse and I would just be proud of yourself for making a decision for YOU. You're entitled to be happy. You don't need to carry someone else's burden.

Pick up the pieces and block him. He didn't want your help then so I wouldn't be too concerned about what happens to him next month. Sorry for my bluntness.
