Note: The person who needs this advice is my friend, and he doesn’t have a College Confidential account, so I’m posting it for him. Any response is appreciated since this is a huge deal to him.
“Hello everyone, I have a dilemma. A freshman and I are currently seeing each other, although it’s unofficial. Recently, I learned that she might be depressed from her past experiences and trauma. Additionally, she’s very attached to me. I like her, but I sometimes feel obligated to be with her because I don’t want her to be more and more depressed. Next year I’ll be leaving her and going to college so either way she’ll end up hurt. What should I do? Is this an unhealthy relationship?”
