    Hi Carrie,

    You should move out.

    That will give him the clarity he needs to work on the relationship or truly break up. Right now he’s working out (and taking out!) all his feelings onto you. That’s not fair!

    He shouldn’t even be in a relationship so soon after the divorce and should be concentrating on his daughter, while figuring out how to get his own health insurance. On top of getting his depression under control.

    Move Out,

    Inky

    Dear Carrie:

    I wonder when he stopped Zoloft, how long he took it before he stopped, and did he stop gradually? Withdrawal may be part of the problem right now.

    You wrote: “The more I push on what he wants me to do, the more it seems he pushes me away”- I think better you stop pushing him. He may very well not know what he wants to do, so he can’t tell you. He probably feels much distress and has no idea what to do about it.

    If you stay with him, give him a lot of space. He no longer has health insurance, correct? Maybe he can qualify for some medical care and attend psychotherapy?

    Carrie,

    I agree what Inky has said.  You alone cannot “save” the relationship.  He needs to have a relationship with himself and his daughter.  He needs to get emotionally healthy.

    I assert that if you really love him then you have to let him go.  He has to take care of himself first.
