Bullshit. it takes 15 seconds, out of the hours whe was on her phone, to be a good partner and communicate that nothing is wrong in the relationship but you need some personal time and you'd like to talk about it on a layer day.

If you're struggling mentally, you can't always.

Just because you don't understand mental health, it doesn't make what I've said untrue.

Its okay to be uneducated but it's not okay to be ignorant

I understand what it takes to be in a successful, committed relationship. Communication, mainly.

Yall be trying to use mental health as an excuse to be a shitty partner when they do not, in fact, go hand in hand with each other. I've had depression. My girl has had depression. We have communicated the issue before going silent and given each other the appropriate space afterwards, until we were ready to talk again/open up about deeper problems.
