I've posted before about my boyfriend, who I love dearly, who is wonderful, and all of that. I've also mentioned about how he struggles with depression. Earlier this month, he told me that he needs to take time from our relationship to focus on just him, and just getting a handle on his life. He told me I was a major impetus in him deciding to seek help, because if he wasn't feeling joy being with "the perfect girlfriend", then obviously something was wrong with him. So, we're on a break - not really broken up forever for sure, but not together right now, though he does want us to spend a lot of time together. I hate being in limbo, but I do want him to get healthy. This happened on February 3.
Today I changed my Facebook relationship status to Single. I had been dreading doing it, because I didn't really want to explain to everyone I know just what's going on. Most of the people who I had wanted to talk about things in-depth with had already been told, but it was causing a knife twist every time I say "in a relationship" and wondering if we really were. I know it's not a big deal to James (my ex, I guess), since he says it's just Facebook, but is there any way to express that while I'm definitely not very happy, I don't really want to talk about it? I don't really want to make a big production over things, but changing a Facebook status is suddenly so meaningful.
