Sorry for being unclear, I was talking about her depression. She's always gone through "low" phases since I've known her. She has never been to a doctor at all for it, and never been on any type of medication. I never knew the depth and scope of depression though.

She's very defensive about it, and at this point in time I have no idea how to even bring it up without her trying to think i'm blaming our entire situation on depression.

From everything i'm reading though, it seems like depressed people see the world through a negative filter and often times project their unhappiness onto other things like their SOs/marriages.

We don't have a perfect relationship, not by far but this could explain a lot of our issues. Especially since this divorce request came at a time when she was totally stressed/depressed about work, and about our dead dog.
