My girlfriend’s problem with bulimia really gets her down. She is often depressed which makes her cold and distant toward me. She is ashamed of being bulimic, and she is ashamed of feeling depressed. So, she often tries to pretend that everything is fine; she tries to pretend that she is happy. But, I can always tell that something is wrong. When I try to talk to her about it she laughs at me and tells me that I am imagining things. Otherwise, she is very good to me. She is beautiful and always puts me first. I have stood by her for several years, but nothing is improving. I feel lonely around her. I never know what she is really feeling inside. I have told her that she needs professional help, but she thinks that she can handle this on her own. She has a lot of issues from her past that she refuses to deal with. She tries to convince herself that she had a perfect childhood. I wonder if I could have a better relationship with someone who is healthy. Should I leave?
