Just now, AITA for being depressed and saying “ok” as a response to the girl who is my girlfriend again? - Lemmy.ca

I’ve been feeling a bit depressed and I don’t know exactly why. My (19F) girlfriend Nikki (18F) just told me she loves me. I said “Ok”. Then she said she couldn’t wait to spend time with me and I said “Cool” because I didn’t know how to respond. She then asked if I was alright and I told her I was depressed. She asked if she could help and I said “No but I have Max”. She said she was here for me too and I said “Ok well I know that”. Then she apologized and I told her not to, and that it wasn’t her fault I was depressed.

I think you should clarify who Max is and what the status/rules of your relationship is. It seems from the comments that you’re in a poly relationship with a young man (since you used pronoun “him”) as well as a young woman, and it sounds like the young woman is okay with you favouring the young man at times for whatever reason. In that case, NTA. Depression is a bitch of a beast and if one person can do more for it than another, you’re NTA for taking care of yourself. But if you’re in a poly relationship, make it up to the young lady in another way.

It sounds like everybody’s fine but your depression is making it seem like a bigger deal than it is, and you should just check in with everyone (involved) when you’re better, make sure you’re all on the same page. Apologies if I’ve misread the situation.
