Small positive steps, what now?

Hi Kalni, Reading between the lines I'd say ease up a bit on your H esp. your friends talking to him and reporting back. I too tried this early on in a well meaning way but it only drove her away. I'd say give him more time and space to realize things for himself while staying connected on some neural level like the kids' H/W.

Any idea why he's depressed? Yes, he's been working long hours. But is his job as Chief Editor high pressure or is it more like he felt he was not getting enough domestic or other emotional support from you? What is his LL? Think about the root causes of his depression while you have your own time and space and you will not feel so lonely while he's away. Get some help with the kids if you need to.

Best wishes.
