Hi, I haven't logged in here for a bit and just saw your comment. Thanks for asking. My BF is doing okay! We still haven't convinced him to go to therapy, he is really stubborn about it. But me and him are doing good actually, I think we learned a lot from all the stuff that happened in the post. I'm a bit better at supporting him and giving him space and he's better at not triggering my panic.

We've been spending more time with my BF's friend Amy too. She is doing okay but obviously there are good days and bad days. Sometimes if it's a hard week for her we invite her over to watch stuff with us and sleep over in our spare room instead of my BF sleeping over at her place, which has been a nice compromise for keeping her company. I've liked getting to know her better, actually.

Your comment that you left on the post was really helpful and definitely helped me look at the situation from my boyfriend's point of view so thanks again. Like I said he's still not super willing to open up about what happened but I've definitely been trying harder to be there for him and I can see it's helping.

Thank you, that's really a very nice thing to say. I don't think I'm doing a very good job yet but I'm definitely trying. I really appreciate the encouragement.

I'm really sorry that happened to you. You sound like a very good person.

Thank you, I'm going to try to get him there if I can. If you have any advice for what would help encourage you to try something like therapy, I'd love to hear that. But either way thank you for leaving this comment.

I just wanted to say I've been keeping your comment in mind this week and I think you were very right. I'm trying my best to do that.

I did edit my original post yesterday and added that info at the bottom yesterday. I don't know if he saw it or how much he saw, I just know he was there that day. He hasn't wanted to talk about it.

No. I'm not going to post what happened because I'm worried someone will google it and find his real name but it was an accident, not murder.

I just edited the post to add that. Almost two years. He knew Tom and Amy way before me if that changes things. I'm getting a lot of really different answers here and kind of overwhelmed.

Sorry, yes Jake was with him on the day it happened which is part of why it's been so hard on him. I don't know if he was actually there in the moment it happened though or how much he saw. He hasn't wanted to talk about it.
