I have been married 23 years. My spouse is mentally ill and it has been very difficult. He refuses counselling, psychiatry, he is on medication but he is still miserable. He's very angry and has frequent outbursts. He is back on his pain killers when he went through withdrawal to get off of them. I feel like he'll never change. He hates his job-this is the latest job. I feel terrible but should I go on being miserable too? I'm attracted to someone else but I think it's only because I've been unhappy for so long, and feeling no companionship. My husband just sleeps. We never go out. He never eats with me. He hardly speaks to me. He was better for a while but now he is back to being the same way he has been for so long. I really don't want to live this way any more. I'd rather be alone. We have twins, who are 18 years old now and they know how their father is also. No one would blame me if I left. Any opinions? Would you stay?
