My depressed partner of 3 years has asked me to leave as things didnt feel right between us. This is 2 months ago now, the month prior was hell, like i was living with a strange housemate, no signs of love or care, no afffection or interest in us. I left into a share house the day he asked me to go the month after. We talked shortly after as i needed answers and he didnt think it was depresion, he was an emotionless empty shell void of any emotion and that worried me. I think that was his rock bottom then and the week after as he was very negative and switched off,angry at his parents and wanting maximum distance to do things his way. I must mention he has insomnia and didnt sleep for about 2 weeks straight around this time.
Skip to now and we have in the last 2-3weeks talked more everyday via text/calls, he has made mention of me returning home in a joking way a few times but i dont think he is ready just yet. He told his mum initially he was afraid of hurting me and he was trying to save me from himself.
The 3 days before he left for work he wanted me to stay over each night, the day before that we spent together too. He is now very sexually orientated whereas before there was no interest. His texts have become more personal and he has said i love you twice since, he keeps me updated on his day and checks in on mine. He still isnt able to talk about feelings at all or us in a serious manner,however he likes to mention our future and jokes about when we win the lotto etc.
What i want help with is the following. Does this make sence, what does it say to you and do you think this is normal for recovery? I have anxiety so i struggle to see good in the things that happen. I wonder if this is the first signs of him opening back up to a relationship??
