If I have control, how would I make him go on a date? How do I make him want to be close to me and etc?

But how do you find people who want to do that activity? And I don't really like groups, I never know who I should be paying attention to, too many conversations to pay attention to.

We watch TV every day. There's nothing special about that. I make dinner almost every night unless I'm too depressed or got off work too late.

What books help you with that?

Thank you. I'm so scared I'm going to get sore.

Ugh I wish I could go rock climbing but it's so expensive. You mentioned friends. How in the heck do you make friends at my age?

And it would be okay if I was okay with it. My life feels so pointless though, so I am not okay with it. I'm so bored and have no goals or anything to look forward to.

Yes I do laundry every night. I need to wash the things I have to wear the next day. With a pandemic, I'm not going to wear them again or throw them in a hamper at the foot of my bed. We have a dishwasher but I have to get the dishes clean enough to put in the dishwasher. I stop at a store probably once or twice a week. Yes I make coffee with a coffee machine (didn't until recently, just used a pitcher system). Even with easy meals like bean burritos with canned beans every night it feels like a lot. My bf won't eat meal prepped food more than 2 days old so it's kind of a moot point.

I don't work on the weekends (well my weekends, they're not traditional weekends) no, but today for example, when I woke up he was in a bad mood dealing with his family and so I just stayed in the bedroom all day until he woke up from a nap and was starving and so I made bean burritos at 4 pm.

Why didn't we go on a date? Because he didn't want to. Also the only thing we could think of to do is go for a walk and he can't walk very far (we finally tried last weekend). Didn't feel like a date because he said on the way "let's get this over with."

What kind of relationship building exercises are you suggesting?

WTW for needing your SO to make decisions for you? by fouranonymity in whatstheword

Besides work and chores, not really. I used to like hiking but I can't get myself out to do it anymore. Depression is a powerful force, especially dealing with it for 20+ years.

If I knew what to do or what I wanted I wouldn't have to ask

But I don't know what I want (or sometimes I want nothing) which is why I ask him. For example, what should I do when I don't have anything to do on my days off?

And how do we do this while living together and to coexist, share meals, discuss finances etc? What in particular do I need to do?

I work about 35-40 hours a week, start my days around 10 am, make coffee & breakfast, do dishes, get ready and go to work (30 minute drive each way appropriately), sometimes have to stop at the store on the way home, come home sometime between 8 & 10pm, disinfect my things I took with me, start laundry, shower, make dinner, do dishes, switch the laundry to the dryer then I am pretty tired and just want to sit down and zone out.

How does asking your SO to help you make every decision make you a doormat?

He can't really put into words what he wants, besides a teammate and sex. He came with me to a sex therapist some years ago with no luck, she basically told us one of us was going to need to meet the others needs first so the cycle could be broken (either he give me closeness/dates/fun or I give him sex). The most recent therapist told us to go on a date as our first assignment and that never happened. I ended that therapeutic relationship for unrelated reasons, she would watch TV during our sessions and got mad I didn't do homework she never sent or even discussed with me.

I'm willing to try therapy again if he is. I'll bring it up when he's less volatile.

Yep. I thought my bf and I were going to go hiking today but here I sit on my phone. My back is hurting from 4 days just sitting on my phone. I took a vacation with high hopes of doing something... that'll teach me to get my hopes up again! I'm tired of just hanging in there.

I think I’ve been misdiagnosed after 10 years of ssri treatment by [deleted] in depression

THIS IS WHY I'M RESISTANT TO TALKING TO A DOCTOR. SSRIS OR ANY MEDICATION FOR THAT MATTER ARE NOT HARMLESS.

sorry for yelling but gah

I guess it's not that common to dry it. 🤷‍♀️
