I admittedly had a very recent fight with my fiancé who I FEEL doesn't take any initiative even though I've said I need help several times. He would be able to find out what I need to know much more easily.

We ended up snapping at each other because I quite likely will need medication for a very long time. He didn't even let me tell him just how spaced out my current psychiatrist appointments are (every 3 to 4 months), before assuming I would need minimum monthly appointments and then saying my savings will run out and he can't afford me seeing a psychiatrist. Then saying I need to go cold turkey on my meds when that's a very bad idea.

How I'm doing it all alone is definitely a trigger for me feeling I'm a burden. Eventually we agreed I'd type up specific things I need him to check / find out for me. I was trying to ask for that all along.

I know I can't control what he does and it's also tiring that he refuses to do anything about his depression and major procrastination issues.

There's plenty on my end for me to do, and I'm cracking on with it while doing my best to take breaks instead of spending the whole day on a task without food or water.

That all does sound really frustrating, I'm sorry. It definitely seems like it would be easier to do research because he's local and speaks the language. And I'm sure it makes you feel unsupported. I hope he steps up and helps more.


Agreed that it's definitely a bad idea to go cold turkey on meds. Do you know what the situation with medication is there? Is it universal healthcare? If so, could you get coverage? Or could you get generic versions of some of the medications? Or maybe get as much of a refill as possible before you move, if they're cheaper in your current country?
