At the mo my partner and i are going through some awkward times, due to him having depression. i don't feel at the mo he can hold down a relationship, so i am willing to be friends with him for now, although i'm finding it hard because we have feeling for each other but it is very on and off between us and i found that hard? anyone had similar experience? i just hope im not making a fool of myself by holding on for him? if anoyone could give me advice-male or female that would be much appreciated.
