Don't back off, stay close. Tell her you are there for her, that you won't leave her no matter what the problem is. Tell her that you want to solve that problem for her or at least be by her side.
Keep telling her that you love her and she is very important to you. Over and over. Don't rely on "she knows" If the depression is bad and she doesn't now what causes it, you may want to offer her to take her to a therapist. She may also have some medical problems. Or be pregnant. Good luck!

Your partner will tell you when she is ready and your still interested. She might be concerned how you will react?

Do you think I should back off or try new ways to help? Ah the mystery that is woman. :tongue: On a more serious note, what you are experiencing is not a 'woman's problem' it is a human problem. A lot of people don't like to talk about what is eating them. Various reasons. some people are not comfortable about sharing about their problems, others feel that they will be rejected for having 'issues' while others are just to miserable to fully know why they are miserable, thus shut down. Depression tends to shut people down/off in general. Its the nature of the beast (depression). I have no idea what you have tried in the way of help. So I have no idea what ways would be new ways to help. Maybe you can glean something useful from the pages here: http://www.rd.com/advice/relationships/h...ed-spouse/ Yeah I know, you ain't married, but you are a couple and in a relationship and depression affects couples, not just married ones.

Let her know that you're there for her, but don't push her to talk if she doesn't want to. Sometimes things are just difficult to say out loud. If she wants to talk, listen. If she doesn't, don't take it personally. Either way, stay nearby, and do her small kindnesses to show that you care.
