AITA for not wanting to date someone who’s depressed? It’s been too many times that I become the one source of happiness for this person and i can’t handle that responsibility

Nah! Also if they’re depressed than I feel like they have more important things to worry about!

nope, you’re never the asshole for not wanting to date someone. dating requires that both people want to do it, and that’s not really something you can control in the first place

That is perfectly fine. You want to be someone’s partner and equal, not their therapist or life line. It can be so draining and you can end up building resentment for them. Good on you for recognizing that pattern and wanting something different

Save yourself, nobody can truly love someone else until they’re learned to love themselves
