How do y’all move on after hurting a woman that cared so deeply about you? I (30M) started battling with depression after about a month of dating this woman(29F). She was good to me and tried to help me heal. She stuck with me through it. About 5 months into our relationship I just told her that I didn’t want to bring her down with me while I’m dealing with this depression and basically pushed her away. I messed up in so many ways and didn’t show up for her. There were several social events with her family that I told her I would attend and then I backed out last minute. I used my depression as an excuse. I want to be a consistent man who shows up even when it’s hard. I know it’s over but I want to be a better man and not be consumed by shame/guilt. Any of you guys dealt with something similar? I will also add that we both talked about getting married and I basically threw all that away I feel like. submitted by /u/TopShot22
