Divorce Depression Recovery
What should I do that would be best for my husband and myself?
I believe my husband is suffering from depression. He has moved out of our house and claims to not be feeling the same way for me anymore (we have been married 20 years). He is not happy but he admits that he's not happy anywhere. He wants a "break" but not divorce. I have pushed for things like for him to see a counselor and to get on anti depressants, which he does in an effort to keep me hanging in there waiting for him. I want to know what are reasonable expectations of him. How long before he can come home, can he ever come home, is depression the reason he doesn't feel the same for me any more, is spending time with me and our children (which he seems to avoid as much as I let him) detrimental to his recovery or is it helping him? Any help from someone in my position or someone suffering from depression would be greatly appreciated!
My husband did this exact same thing after 24 years together. I chalked it off to a mid-life crisis and problems at work and tried to be understanding. I bought books to help understand what he was going through and arranged for him to talk to a counselor. To make a long story short - his "depression and unhappiness" was a blond co-worker that he was having an affair with. He was distancing himself from his family to make himself feel less guilty and to make having the affair a little easier. Is this a possibility? If so - don't beat yourself up like I did. I was so intent on finding out how to help the man I loved that I missed all the tell-tale signs of his cheating.
