I love my husband, but because of his illness and depression, our relationship is platonic. Not my idea, he's just overwhelmed. The doctors say there is no physical limitation. He's seen two counselors who think he's making progress. Once every year or so, doesn't seem like progress to me.
I won't be unfaithful, but I am lonely. And I honestly don't know what to do about that.
How do you decrease or redirect that drive?
I really hate feeling like this, and I have no idea what to do.
The marriage I hoped for is no longer a possibility. How do I grieve it and move on with my husband without dying inside?
How can you make yourself honestly okay with something you would never choose?
I find myself just shutting down, and I don't want to do that. But when I'm open and vulnerable I end up angry with him and I cry a lot. I know that just makes him feel guilty on top of his depression, and I hate that.
What makes the loneliness go away?
