Name EshKebabRegion EU Sweden , to be preciseDifficulty Normal so far , but looking to move up to Hard . Class I like to play all , but I ' m best with Medic , Support , Commando and Demolitionist . <| sep |> Ha . your boyfriend sounds like me . I knew a girl for around 45 years , she was my best friend . We started dating for a while and it was the happiest few months of my life . And then she broke up with me . No explanation . Just stopped talking to me . To this day I don ' t know for sure what happened but it may have been similar to your boyfriend ' s problem . Almost scary how alike our experiences were . Do I think he ' s depressed or internally processing ? I ' d say both . The thing about depression is that its always there , and your boyfriend seems like he is at least slightly depressed , but certain events like this will trigger depressing thoughts and emotions . One of the things people with social anxiety and depression cherish the most is someone who understands them . Losing that hurts . And this is probably bringing up a lot of memories . He must be going through mental hoops right now as well . Why didnt she tell me ? , Why didnt anyone tell me ? , what if my current girlfriend does the same thing ? , Am I not cut out for love ? . it ' s a lot to process . My ex would tell me all the time to leave her alone , to not talk to her . She was an introverted personality too . I would give her some time , and then reach out and let her know that Ill always be there to support her . She may not have said it at the time but later on I found out she deeply appreciated everything I said . I think your boyfriend will come out of this in one piece but like I said it is certainly something he ' ll have to put some time and energy to get through . Also , you ' re a great person . I think you did the right thing by telling him having closure will be good for him down the road , it will help him overcome the past . I know I would want to know if I were in his position . Well not sure if I covered everything but thats about my insight into this . I sincerely hope you guys can get through this and be happy together , so best regards .
