Hi Ruby,
Yeah, I dated a man for a while who is a Vietnam Vet.....He lives in depression and goes from being completely involved in group sessions and taking his meds to holing himself up in his apartment talking about dying. There was absolutely nothing I could do to help him. It was beyond my abilities--I couldn't be his counselor nor his entire reason for being.
So.....I had to break up with him.
I'm not saying this is what you need to do.....but if you have made yourself clear to him about what you want and need and if he cannot provide those things, then you need to decide what it is that will make your life peaceful and happy. You will, sadly, never be able to make him do what you want him to do......but you can decide what you want to do.
Hugs and prayers for brighter days ahead!!! HG
