Hi all,
It's the first time that I post in this section.. I have a dilemma
I was at my boyfriend's house tonight and casually glanced over a prescription left on the kitchen counter, which turned out to be for anti-depressants (I know the name of the medicine as someone else I know takes it as well) in my bf's mum name.
Should I tell my bf or should I mind my own business? Me and him have been together over 3 years and are very close and I really struggle keeping any secrets from him!
Thank you in advance

Mind your own business.0

Firstly, don't jump to conclusions! Anti-depressants can be used in the treatment of other conditions too, my grandad was diagnosed with diabetes and had issues with his feet, he was prescribed some sort of anti-depressant and refused to take them because he wasn't depressed, it turns out they were prescribed for his feet, not because he was depressed.
Even if his mum is being treated for depression, she's clearly seeking professional help.
This is nothing to do with you.0 -
What are you going to tell him that you think he doesn't know?0

Keep it to yourself, it is none of your business. I repeat, keep this to yourself, it is NONE of your business.
If I had a son and their GF went around blabbing my private medical info, I would be more than annoyed!
I don't see what anyone would gain by telling him, anyway.0 -
I'd tell him.Man plans and God laughs...Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry. But by demonstrating that all people cry, laugh, eat, worry and die, it introduces the idea that if we try to understand each other, we may even become friends.0

I would say it to my bf if we'd been together that long, but surely he knows already, and if he does why hasn't he mentioned it in passing to you?:heartsmil When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because these weirdos are your true family.0

I don't think you should outright ask him about them, as its not really your place to, but perhaps ask him if he's ok and if there's anything on his mind. He might say yes and tell you if he's worried, he might say no its ok. That way you're giving him the oppurtunity to talk about it but not forcing it.This is a system account and does not represent a real person.

If it was left on a kitchen counter what was stopping your boyfriend from seeing the prescription? Maybe he knows his mum is on anti depressants? Lots of people are
Some days you're the dog..... most days you're the tree!

No, keep out of it. If your boyfriend's mum wants him to know she will tell him.0
