I get upset when my boyfriend wants to spend the weekend alone (and thus not see me for almost two weeks), even when he has legitimate reasons for wanting to do so, like his intense depression. How do I stop getting upset when this happens?

Because you should realize even if he spend the weekend alone, he still loves you. Depression can be shitty too, put yourself in his shoes.

Stop taking everything personal

Look, get over yourself, go out with friends or stay in and binge watch TV or something. Just because he doesn't spend time with you all the time doesn't mean he doesn't love you. Clingyness and guilt tripping are sure fire ways to strain a relationship.

You're right. I realized that I have been doing that - guilt tripping that is. I wasn't doing it consciously, I was just really sad and taking it personally. I do have plans of hanging out with friends next time he wants to be alone.

Do this. When with my ex, she wanted to spend every night with me but at times I just wanted to be alone due to depression creeping back in. She took it as I didn't love or care for her which just caused me to push her away more. If she just said "I understand and if you need me just tell me" it would've been fine

What about depression makes you want to spend time alone?
