My husband is depressed
My husband is depressed and for me as his partner this is not easy. I take care of our house, our children and our social life for as much that is still there.
Everybody says I should continue with my life. I do that as much as possible and it goes fine.
It's just... at home life doesn't go on. When I come home after a nice evening out, then my depressed husband is there. I cannot expect anything from him. He cannot be happy about anything and only has remarks.
I feel angry, sad and very lonely. I often hear I cannot expect anything from him as long as he is depressed. But is this ever going to get better, or is it better for me to leave?
Hello, I feel very sorry for you, I know all about it, I'm in the same situation.
It is difficult I am already 4 years every night alone never laughter on holidays just sleeping or negativity and sometimes I cannot handle it anymore.
I hope you have kids that can give some distraction. We are just with the two of us. I am a fighter and cannot get it how somebody can let himself go like that and live like that.
Sweet greetings Carin
By 18 months post birth, I started feeling better, got my Self back and started enjoying life again. It has now been 3yrs and 2 months since I last seen my "real" husband. Instead, I see a shadow, no...a black hole, shaped like my loving, fun, caring husband. Every scenario can only go wrong. I can't even go out by myself, because he says he can't cope with having our daughter on his own. I feel trapped. I'm thinking I need to save my daughter. She has seen me cry on a few occassions, and now has a special cloth for wiping mummy's tears (breaks my heart) My husband accuses me of not caring about his mental health, that I want to take everything away from him. That I'm making his illness worse. I often think he's right, that if I wasn't around, he'd get better soon.
