here i have a question for us all, hope that i can get your attention.

wife has depression problem , i noticed the reason that why feel unhappy does not all comes from our marriage, most of from her inside, since wife does not want to get the help from IC, so she does not know where the problem it is. i would like to point out that the problem mostly comes from herself, i want to know how can i suggest it to wife in a non-LB and non-education way, which is easily accepted by wife.
any suggestion? thanks

Pinetree how about something like this -

"Honey, I feel so bad that you are unhappy, if there is anything that I can do to help you find joy again, please let me know.

There are people out there who care, who can help you and even medicine which can help you to feel happy again.

I will do whatever I can do, make the appt, go with you, walk with you, talk with you...anything to help you find your way through this.

I love you and hate seeing you this unhappy. Just say the word, and I will do it. "

Good luck Pinetree and remember that we have no control over another's happiness or their willingness to get help...only our own and the hope that they will join us in that happiness.
