I have been going to therapy off and on for years and whenever I bring up my desire to date and my difficulties with it I have gotten back to just work on myself and online I have seen “if you aren’t happy alone you won’t be happy in a relationship”. I have major depression and have had it for years. Am I supposed to just hope it goes away? Wait until my entire life has passed?
That’s not for you to decide? If your partner decides you are worth their time that’s all that matters, you are not holding them hostage, they can leave whenever they want.
