I am confused and unsure what I should do. I need some advice on how to proceed. I’m 36, divorced with 2 children living with me. I recently met this woman on a dating site. We texted for a few days, and then moved on to talking on the phone. We immediately had a very strong connection. We would talk for hours. I’ve driven up to see her twice ( she lives about 60 miles from me. ) the spark and chemistry is there and we both fell in love with the other rather quickly. She is 4 mths pregnant with the father not in the picture.
The problem is that she is having a problem with depression. She says when I am up there, she is happy, but she gets depressed whenever I’m not. She recently broke things off because she doesn’t think anyone can love her until she can love herself. She said she still loves me and wants to be with me when she gets better, but wants to be friends. But she keeps sending mixed messages. She will tell me she misses me and tell me things you wouldn’t tell a “friend”
She is supposed to call a counselor today and start counseling for depression. I don’t know whether to stick it out and try to just be a friend and hope she will get better and we can get back together, or to just stop contact and move on. I know it can take a long time when battling depression. I can deal with being there for her and waiting, but not if there isn’t a chance of getting back together. I appreciate any help you can give me.
Thanks in advance
Shaun
