Why do I feel depressed after getting rejected?
Hey,Rejections are a part of life and they are not the end of the world. But we surely feel so when the person we love does not reciprocate in the same way. It is absolutely normal to feel so. As per the information you have given, your friend is either not sure of her feelings for you or she doesn't want you to feel wronged because of her rejection. In either of the situations, she has chosen to not face you right now but this does not mean she will not talk to you in the future. Sometimes one takes time to gather courage to deal with something unexpected happened to them, maybe because they are waiting for the right time to settle them. Keep all the possibilities open for you and don't get impatient or sad presuming things. Let her calm down and give her her space. Wait for the right time to talk to her. Even when you meet her, try and assure her that whatever her answer is it will not affect the beautiful friendship between you two. She is your friend, I am sure she wouldn't want to hurt you in any way. Once she is sure that the bond between you is too strong to be affected by this whole situation, she will always be that friend to you as she was before your proposal. Stay positive and respect her even if the result is not as you wanted. That is what true love is all about. Hope you meet your soulmate soon. All the best.

Can lack of affection and sex contribute to or even cause depression?
I have been in a 2-year relationship and being rejected or deprived of affection and sex is making me nearly ill to the point that I am questioning my desireability. and wondering what is wrong with me. My partner doesn't even want me to touch him in any way. I am beside myself. when I approach the topic and my needs and desires he get defensive and starts to argue telling me that all I want him for is sex---I am lucky to be intimate once a month. Is this normal???? I am not ugly nor overwieght---other males to which I have discussed this with as friends tell me that he is crazy and needs to step back and take a good look at what he is rejecting and denying pleasure too. Please help
