tell him this MAN DON'T WHINE BITCH OR COMPLAIN EVER
in all seriousness, i have suffered through depression myself for about a year. i vented to one person. i didn't vent my whole life or constant complain. just every once in a while this person would ask about me and how my life was and what i can do to help. point you should listen to your BF if hes depressed but a man needs to bare his pain alone sometimes. in my case i was too proud to tell someone everything i feel, but then again i don't whine bitch or complain .
