Yeah but like it wasn't just sex. We'd cuddle on the sofa whilst watching movies, we had days out together and he'd be holding my hand publicly. He helped me buy my motorbike and I made him a cake, yes sloppy I know. He was planning a weekend away for us to go to a mountain and he was planning to come with me when I run the Edinburgh marathon making a full weekend of it. He also was harping on about going on holiday next year. Added to that he was putting me on his car insurance. Oh and he told me that he's printed off pictures of me and had placed them around his workstation.

Given all the above, I would suggest that's a relationship and not just sex.

Slinky Ferret, I'm sad that you suffer from depression too. It's a rotten place to be and so misunderstood by others who think it's some kind of tantrum, attention seeking and you just need to snap out of it. When I'm stuck down that hole there's no climbing out.

Basically he couldn't face supporting me and I can live with that, but the back-peddling and patronising way he wheedled out of this was just plain shitty.
