I'm sorry to hear about your boyfriend's father passing away. One thing that I think you need to remember and keep in the back of your mind, is that the grieving process has many stages(denial, anger, sadness,etc.) and the length of mourning differs from person to person. You said that his father passed on around two weeks ago...in my opinion, that isn't really much time for someone to go through the stages of grieving. You also said that your boyfriend is acting unusual and not like himself, well, he just lossed a loved one and now has the added stress of trying to help support his family. He's going through many things right now; he may not act like himself for a while yet. It takes time to be able to move on with one's life after experencing such a loss. Just try to be patient and give your boyfriend some time and space, if he wants, to cope with this new reality that he's been forced to face. Also, try not to worry about how your relationship stands with him at this point in time. He is probably experiencing many different emotions lately, and he may or may not actually mean the things he's saying to you. Be there for him as a friend if he needs someone to talk to. I personally wouldn't try to get him to spill out his thoughts and feelings right now...let him come to you. He may not know how he feels right now, and if or when he's ready to talk about it, he'll probably let you know. Best wishes to you both![/b][/QUOTE] thank you!!! your words really helped [IMG]http://www.scarleteen.com/forum/smile.gif[/IMG] i was told before to wait and not confront him with my thoughts and doubts right now, and i try, but they keep coming back and it makes me feel so insecure about what i have (or not) and what will happen next... i know maybe i shouldn't worry so much and maybe i'm being selfish, but i can't stop it, it's the way i am... i didn't want to mention this but i've been diagnosed depression, i'm waiting for an appointment to get medication (through natural products), and you know, he's the person i care the most, i know i should be able to go through this and get better on my own, but with him by my side i'd feel stronger [IMG]http://www.scarleteen.com/forum/smile.gif[/IMG] i guess we're both going through a difficult time, and that was why i considered maybe we needed to discuss where our relationship stands, if we should take time apart, etc... and asked for help here. thanks [IMG]http://www.scarleteen.com/forum/smile.gif[/IMG] [/QB][/QUOTE]
