Hello everyone, My story:
My husband and I have been married for two years (it will be two next month). We are both 25 and I have a 4 year old son from a previous relationship that ended before my son was born. We went through some difficult times... My family pretty much disowned me, I miscarried our baby at 3 months, we moved to texas from california because the housing market was cheap but it ended up being a horrible idea. I became very depressed. I attempted to commit suicide by swallowing A LOT of pills but I threw them up thankfully. I was just in a bad place and I know it put a tremendous strain on our relationship. My husband began having what I consider ( and our marriage therapist) inapropriate relationships with other women I would say about 2 months after we got married. It

Sorry about the loss of your marriage. Sounds like your insecurities and jealously was fueled by him cheating. I think it is good that you accept some responsibility for the marriage breakdown but unfortunately, he does not. This is your wake up call. He is showing you who he truly is. Believe him!
Sorry you are going through this--did
That's true, I dont think he does see that he contributed to the failure of our marriage as well. I do feel that he fueled my low self esteem and when I would tell him that his actions with other women bothered me and made me self conscious
Thank you for responding.
I actually printed out information on how to handle it when your spouse is depressed and he didnt read it. I also told him as soon as I got the medication that my doctor and phrmacist say that it would take 4-6 weeks for the full effect to kick in, and that particular type of medicine might not even work for me so I might have to switch meds. I am going to look into getting counseling. I went to a psychiatrist but didnt even have the chance to really talk before she was just shooing me out of the door with a prescription. I know I have a lot of trust issues which are even greater now and working on my anger management is very important for me so that i do not affect my son in a negative way. I do feel that him being in the house and us arguing all the time contributed to my depression. When he left the first time I felt a sense of peace when I got home and the possibility of meeting someone new someday in the distant future excited me. I hope to make new friends as the only friends I have are friends that were origionally his. My friends now live too far to visit frequently but we could chat on the phone.
