My husband and I have had a rough year. I suffer from depression and we started seeing a MC in December. My husband couldn't cope with my depression and basically "divorced" himself from me emotionally. He says he was prepared to ask for a divorse, but a situation occurred in my family and he held off. That weekend was when my depression lifted and I asked him if we could start fresh (not knowing he has already decided on divorce). I have read every word of MB website and feel better about my responsibilities in the relationship and my depression has gotten better (looking into meds too) but he doesn't know if he wants to be married. I printed out the information on the website for him to read but he hasn't gotten around to it. He acts loving at home but when we get to counselling he unloads on how he still doesn't know if he wants the marriage to continue. This confuses me.
I'm trying to apply the concepts talked about on the website and I am now reading His Needs Her Needs. Note: neither one of us has been unfaithful (that I know of).
What do I do now? When do I give up? I feel myself getting depressed again and don't want to live like that anymore.

iam,
You don't give up!!! You read everything here, you do a plan A, and you pray for the Lords will to be done in your marriage, for some it does mean divorce, but that is when everything has been tried.
So stay strong!!!!!
Gor over to the General Question II borad and read there, that board is for those still working and trying on their marriage, it is more active too!!!
