Dating someone in a stressful situation

Partner disappeared for weeks, citing stress and sadness, and I'm left feeling miserable and unsure about the future

What I wish I knew
"That he would communicate openly and honestly about his struggles"
If I could tell you one thing
"Be cautious when dating someone who is struggling with stress and sadness, and communicate openly about your own needs and feelings"
