Should i leave my bf alone on his “down days”
My boyfriend is a very calm and relaxed guy, very kind hearted and honest. Some days he tells me he’s “having one those days” which means he just wants some quiet alone time to listen to music and stay in bed for the day.
I have never experienced depression, but I have had a friend who has before. I ask him if he is depressed and he says he isn’t, he just sometimes has days where he wants to stay in bed, or spend the day in the hammock by the lake, and just think about things and enjoy himself. He claims that too much social life wears him down and he needs a break to reset himself every once in a while.
Should I be worried about him being depressed or is this a normal and reasonable thing to do? He shows no signs of depression other than his “down days” which I find odd.
He’s such a sweet man, quiet, more of a listener, a very atmospheric person, he doesn’t care too much for surprises or excitement. I’m the more party scene person, very outgoing and a little loud, he’s more outdoorsy and the “Tell me about it whenever you come home” type. I think I overwhelm him sometimes with the outings and parties and get togethers. We’re both 23 and male.
