Thanks for the support. I do believe that it is the hardest thing I ever had to deal with. I know that I don't really have much control in this situation. I just want to help her so bad.
When your H was going through his depression, did he think everything was your fault? Did he think that he had to get out of the relationship to be happy? I am just trying to figure out if it is in fact depression, or if she really is unhappy because of our relationship. Honestly, I think she is placing way too much emphasis on the relatively minor things that she has complained about. There was no abuse/addiction/adultery, yet she acts as if I committed the greatest sin of all time.
I think it probably is depression, because she raised these concerns about our relationship, I adjusted my behavior and she is still not feeling any better about it. She said it was weird because I had been giving her space but she still felt suffocated. I think that is probably is a result of the depression, since the things that she thought she didn't like about our relationship have been addressed and she is not feeling any better. I know that this process is going to take time, I just want her to get the help that she needs.
Was there anything that seemed to work particularly well that you did when your H was going through this? What didn't work well? Thank you for your advice.
