My husband kept telling me he was clinically depressed and I did ask him about getting some help and he never did. As an entrepreneur he is a workaholic. He just submersed himself in his work and it just never got addressed. So much of his self worth is tied into his finances and when those aren't in order he considers himself a failure. So he just tried extra hard to make the business work, and when it didn't, it just managed to reinforce his negative thinking.
He said he checked out in 2009, but never said anything to me about it. I attributed his aloofness (if that's a word) with his self proclaimed depression so there was no alarms that went off in my head when the marriage stalled. I really think that he though the marriage would self-correct, I even dare to say that he hoped it would to make himself feel better about being in it.
