First off I want to apologize for any errors or mistakes during my typing of this.

So a little background on our current situation. We've been together for 3 years now and we work at the same place, we also have our own place together as well. We both suffer from depression and we both are very very bad procrastinators. And we are currently laid-off from our job.

Last night I get back from a night out with a friend and we just started talking about how we both currently feel. He is struggling with a few health problems as well as his depression. His father passed his senior year of high school and it left him pretty messed up as that was his world at the time, and every since then he's been surrounded by a abundance of people, wether it be friends or family.

He told me he's never had time to learn to live on his own and just be by himself. He also said he's terrified of losing me like he did his dad. He also feels that if im gone there will be no one to be there for him but just him. So hes using that as his motivator. that's why he just wants to be on his own and ship me back to my moms. Plus he thinks it'll help me with my struggles. But he told me this isn't a break-up it's just something he needs to do.

So right now I'm a living wreck writing this, this guy is my best friend, my one true soul mate. I don't know how I can just leave or try and convince him that I just want to help . So should I try and talk to him since this all happened last night or should I just pack up and head to my moms.

Tl:Dr: both my SO and I are suffering from depression. But he wants to be alone and learn how to live by his own self.
