Not a troll. He's a huge asshole to everybody I know except me and last night when he got depressed he lashed out at me, too. I just don't want to put up with any of his garbage anymore. He says stuff like "I'll change if you want" but it would make me happier if he saw on his own that being a jerkoff to people isn't a cool thing to do.

I used to like him when I met him a lot more, when he wasn't as depressed and we joked around and actually talked about things we were interested in. Now I have trouble just starting a conversation because he's apathetic or doesn't attempt to talk back when I'm talking to him about my day, etc.

I turned saying "I love you" from an affectionate phrase to one I said to comfort him in his blues when I didn't know what else to say.

He insults me because I'm bad at talking to him about his problems and I don't know what to say to make him feel better. And when I try, he insults me again.

I'm not this guy's psychiatrist and I can't be. We had fun, but I don't see much of a future with him and whenever he gets upset it drags me way down since I don't know how to deal with it.

Maybe I'm just taking the easy way out?
