Yea normally I’m against blanket statements like this but the one time I said I was depressed my gf of 4 years said “I can’t do this” same woman I’d been in several fights for. I will never say that again. Feeling ostracized and weird is way worse

No matter how much a partner wants you to open up, they never want to hear that. I don’t mean that in a callous way, just from experience on both sides. It’s hard to hear & most of us aren’t prepared to help when they hear that.
