i posted this to get any advice i can get. he and i (both men) have only been together for 3 months but i really love him and want to support him. he's had a hard life and struggles with mental health and always feeling empty or depressed. sometimes, i watch his streams and ask about the game he's playing, and i don't even mind that he plays video games to cope or plays them at all, but he barely talks to me. we are long-distance, too, so i can't go visit him in-person. he doesn't really have time to talk due to playing his game and doesn't wanna stop and be affectionate or talk or anything when he's busy with the game. he does it constantly to the point where literally all he does is game and we barely talk from it, idk what to do.

now, i don't know if it's such a big deal, i'm (a trans man) just getting it "off my chest" (that's why i posted here). i love my boyfriend, but sometimes i wish he talked more to me. i understand, though. he's been struggling with mental health, but even when he says he's happy, he barely has any time for me because he's playing video games. he didn't even want to put the game down to say hi to me or text me because he thought it was annoying to do so, so i told him i'd let him play the game. i understand he plays games when he's bored or to cope with his life and depression, but he barely talks to me because that's how much he loves video games. we talk a few times per day and he says stuff like that"hi, i love you" "you're so handsome" but other than that, not really anything.

please be respectful, i don't need a rant on how much i suck as a bf, i'm really trying to figure out what to do to help.

i reposted this to mental health because it's kind of about his mental health struggles.

jeg oppdaget amerikanorsk for en stund siden og jeg synes det er veldig interessant

first off, i feel like i would be letting my emotions get the better of me if i said she wasn't a nice person.

back in 2022, i dated this girl alicja from poland. alicja has a childhood best friend, agnieszka. our relationship started off fine, alicja was very flirty, helped me whenever she could. she struggled a lot with mental health and i helped her.

here's the thing: if i wasn't immediately there at the moment, she would threaten to kill or harm herself. she also heard voices that weren't there some of the time.

if i didn't do exactly what she wanted, she would block me. at first, after our breakup, we were friends. then, she ghosted me and blocked me.

she happened to be friends with a friend of mine.

she then said she wanted to be friends with me, and ghosted and blocked me again. and she told me it was because she was autistic. whether that's true, i don't know, but yeah. agnieszka blocked me, too, unfriended me and all my friends, left all our group chats, etc.

what could be the reason for this behavior?

She would’ve been 99 years old if she was still alive.

how are you all??? :)

hei, jeg vil lage norske grupper men jeg ser ikke instanser som snakker på norsk. kanskje jeg kunne gå til danske instansene men jeg snakker bare litt norsk. den gode telen er jeg lærer mer hver dag og jeg kan si grunnleggende ting!

i (m, gay) have been with my bf (m, bi) for about three months. we are in a long-distance relationship, and we've been friends for a year or two now, maybe like october 2023. lately, he's been really depressed. when he's not depressed, he's just tired and overall low energy. he never really has a lot of energy to talk to me or anything like that, and even if he wants to, he doesn't feel like it from his depression.

he has had a bad childhood and has trauma and i feel really bad for him. i get really sad/depressed when he's depressed and he says i do help, but only a little because he's so empty. he also doesn't know what he wants, so i'm there to support him. he doesn't know whether or not he wants to talk to me sometimes either, so sometimes we take mental health breaks and come back once we're happier.

i don't really know what to do, it's also not like he lost feelings for me.

he comes from a fairly poor family with an abusive family member.

my bf of almost three months (we've been friends for about a year or two) is always feeling stressed, depressed, or empty. i want to help him, so im just there with him and remind him that i'm there even when he doesn't feel like talking or we don't have much to say.

due to his feelings, he also doesn't know what he wants, and while he loves me, he doesn't know if he wants to talk to me and be around me or not. it makes me really sad, he's also had a bad childhood. i wanna be there for him but he also doesn't know what he wants and i feel sad thinking about and worrying about how sad he is.

he's been reading my messages and not replying or being offline more than usual.
