Thank you for responding Autumn.. I haven't felt the need to keep coming on here because things have gotten better. My partner hasn't gotten completely better but it's getting there. He will talk to me instead of blow things up to the extreme (most of the time). He gets really mean and angry only once in a while, where as when I posted it was almost ALL THE TIME. I don't actually live with him, we're still young, so we're not around each other every minute we're not working or in school. (you asked if living with someone depressed is making me depressed... no, its not. I just have a little Depression within myself which I've had before I knew he even existed)... anyway, thank you again.
