My boyfriend lost his wife in June. She was shot by the man that she was cheating on him with. We have been dating for three months or so. He is just now getting depressed. He thought he was ready to move on but now he wants to take things slower. I understand that and he wants me to wait on him because he says we have a future. He says that this will make us stronger. How can I help him get over this depression before it comes between us

There isn't much you can do to help him get over this depression. You can only be there to listen and empathize He probably should get into therapy or a support group. There are some things you never get over, but learn to live with. He is dealing with betrayal and death. Those are really big things.
He may not be ready to be in any relationship for a very long time. |
