    tbh in the world we live in i think we all need a bit of therapy. But relying on your partner exclusively for that is a bad idea in the long run. They can offer their support but at the end of the day they can’t fix you and they definitely don’t have the skills to guide you.

      That’s true, but the response is just as bad. Couples are supposed to support each other. Hell, friends are supposed to support each other. This is a basic part of humanity.

      Well it depends entirely on why you need therapy doesn’t it.

      One of the biggest problems and causes of depression is loneliness, if that was the case being in a relationship would actually help with that.
