Members Laynierachelle Posted December 21, 2020 Members Report Posted December 21, 2020 My fiancé’s ex girlfriend killed herself while they were dating. He loved her and they had been together for a long time, her suicide was a shock to her family and him. We met shortly after the one year anniversary of her passing, fell in love, and are now engaged. The 2 year anniversary is coming up and idk how to be there for him and support him. He doesn’t talk about her much and when he does he gets really depressed for the next few days. He has been shutting me out more and more as the anniversary gets closer and keeps acting like he’s waiting for me to make the same choice she did. I don’t know how to help him heal, any advice would be appreciated.
Moderators KayC Posted December 21, 2020 Moderators Report Posted December 21, 2020 His shutting you out is very common in grief...I encourage you to visit here as I have personally read (and responded to) literally hundreds of threads there. Most of them have this in common, their beloved was grieving and shut them out. When you read enough of them you see a pattern emerge both in content and outcome. My advice remains that he will look out for himself, it will be important for you also to look after yourself. I am so sorry that you too are in this situation, I know it hurts. https://www.griefhealingdiscussiongroups.com/forum/27-loss-of-a-love-relationship/
