Hey, sorry to hear you are going through your own personal issues. I'm glad you have family and friends around, but if you want to talk here, feel free.

Hi stormcloudz
Well he did the medical for another job back where he lives. He failed the drug test again. Its a legal drug on prescription which is obviously staying in his system for a long time. But I do wonder if he is still taking it. He said it doesnt matter that he didnt get the job, but I really dont believe that. I suspect he might be feeling a bit of a failure and embarrassed, so he is being stoic by saying it doesnt matter. Again he implied that I would be better off with someone who is "normal". Again, I said I am not going anywhere, and I am there for him. I explained that he has been helpful to me even if he doesnt realise it. And again, I gently suggested that moving over here would be very beneficial to him. I am trying to give him some space and not be too overbearing. But I have also been honest with him about what I think and how I feel about him.
I also have issues that I have to address in my personal life. I have anxiety but nowhere near as sever as his depression. The difference though is I have my job, family and friends around me. He is on his own. It is a recipe for doom and gloom. He is an intelligent man and surely he can see that difference of when he was over here.
I am getting closer to sorting out my issues, but I do feel really unsure about what will become of this relationship. I go from being hopeful to wondering if things will ever work out. I can lead a horse to water......as they say.
Thank you for listening to me.

I can see why you are feeling unsure - there's a couple of confusing things there. Maybe he is conflicted about a move.
