Might be breaking up with my bf today, lads. It's not like

I'm on the other end of a situation like this. My gf is always in a emotional wreck about something. It's become very draining dating her. Feels like I'm in relationship with a child. Best would prolly be to talk to him, tell him how you feel. If you're not happy and a emotional burden then chances are he's not happy either.

>dude gets demoted to friendzone for not providing the tingles

You don't need advice for anything, because you're not doing anything of value. Send us his closest homeboy so we can advise that dude on helping your ex line up his next lay.

>I'm a wreck and he seems to think he can fix it with cold answers and by telling me to not be upset
That not good enough for you? What do you expect him to do? Get into your mind and magically erase your mental mess?
I can tell you you won't be happy with the next guy either.

Prince Charming doesn't exist, no one will try to fix the mess that is your life.

Thanks for being a complete asshole, I really need that. I meant that I need more than just "K" or "oh" when I try to tell him how therapy went and things like that

Guys are supposed to tell you to stop being upset, they're not supposed to step into your beartrap while you anchor him in place all night long and tell him that every single one of his proposed solutions is completely impossible. Stop dating.

Does he ever vent, though? Everybody has their troubles, some people just keep it to themselves, probably for different reasons but I do it because I don't wish to burden others. Unless they ask of course, I'll share.

Point being that if we are to divide people into two camps--those who take initiative to unload emotionally, and those who don't--one of each in a relationship rarely works in my experience, since one is inevitably going to end up having to deal with more than their fair share of shit.

If you're going to push your "mess" on him, you owe it to him to invite him to do the same.

how about telling him this

Get your shit together. Therapy is a useful tool, not exclusively for the clinically ill.

This will absolutely never be balanced.

Women's bitching is like men's stench. Both sides must learn to limit their own, and for the same reason.

This. Maybe before breaking it off, try sitting him down, or perhaps ask your therapist if you can bring him in with you for your next appointment and tell him that your mental health is important to you and that you feel bad when he gives you distant replies.

It doesn't necessarily have to be balanced, but it has to be a two-way street. For me the fact that I knew my then girlfriend would listen if I ever did have something on my mind was enough to make helping her deal with her mental issues feel less like a chore.
