Off My Chest
RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

As someone who lives with depression and anxiety, I can assure you that neither of these things justify being an asshole to people who you supposedly care about.
While you can be supportive, it's still on him to put in the actual work to manage these and any other issues (getting professional help as necessary) in order to best hold up his end of the relationship and deserve you. If he isn't ready and willing to do that, he isn't ready and willing to be in the relationship.
