We are not currently separated, but my husband thinks that is the best option. He wants to put our house on the market, but I am dragging my feet right now.
I think he took his ring off for my reaction. I have not said a word about it. He knows that I want to try to work things out and he doesn't believe that they can be worked out. I feel like the depression is what the missing piece is....he is overwhelmed with everything and feels that this is one piece he can control. When people are depressed, their thoughts are so hazy that they don't realize that they are not at all being logical.
We have talked to many times and I try to keep an open mind and remain hopeful when he says that he cannot go back on the decision he has made. When we are not discussing our relationship, we get along as if nothing is wrong. Our love life hasn't changed, we interact just the same, so I've stopped having discussions about our relationship with him b/c it just upsets me and we only get closer to separating b/c he'll make another move in that direction. He has been smoking and drinking a lot more than usual....usually he is not a smoker at all. Am I wrong on the depression piece? I don't know what to do here.....I feel like I'm screaming and nobody can hear me.
