I was seeing this guy for about a month. Lately I realized that I'm not ready to pursue a serious relationship with him because I don't feel confident with where I'm at in my life. The guy asked me on Monday where we stood, and I was honest with him. He broke down and was kind of a wreck, crying and not wanting to hear me say any of it. It was rather troubling, considering it was my first break-up.
He called me like three times the next day, and admitted to me that he's been very depressed (nearly suicidal) for the past six months, and that his time with me was one of the only things making him happy. That bothered me because it made certain that he was dependent on me for happiness, rather than interdependent. I'd rather someone is with me by choice, not out of necessity.
Thankfully, he has scheduled an appointment to see a psychiatrist. He used to be on medication and never renewed his prescription, which is why he has probably been so depressed for all these months.
