writes: A couple of weeks ago my partner of 10 years told his daughter to go back to her mother, which she did. He has tried on many occasions to contact her but no luck. The problem now arises that he has gone very quiet and will not talk. He has also told me I could find someone better. He says he does not love me, but he cares for me. He no longer wants to do anything, only work. He says he will let me know how he feels and whether he wants to continue with the relationship. He also says he no longer wants sex. I am feeling very left out of his life. I do love him and want to help him all I can, but I am finding it very difficult to cope.The only time I am happy and relaxed is at work.I have also tried to contact his daughter but no luckWhat can I do?

This guy is DEPRESSED. If he hasn't sought help already, please make sure he gets help yesterday. Til he deals with this he isn't going to be a good dad or mate.

 Your partner is feeling VERY guilty for kicking his daughter out. Now his feelings seemed to have progressed to depression. He feels that way toward you out of anger at himself, or because you had a hand in it, or out of plain depression. Advise him to see a therapist. Cognitive therapy is very helpful in times like this. If you wish to hang around til things get better, be prepared for the long run. Especially if his daughter is still not on speaking terms with him. See if he'll go to therapy, if not, you have to decide whether you love him enough to go through his misery with him. He is the only one who can help him.
