Married for 15 years (happily - I thought). Husband has recently become very depressed and has treated me unfairly. He has had innappropriate relationships (non sexual) with two other women over the past 8 years. Though he swears their is nobody else, he's saying that he doesn't love me as he knows he should - and he doesn't know what to do about it . He's been very distant towards me lately and says he's struggling with "liking himself". He is seeing a councellor tomorrow. I just don't know if I'm being foolish for sticking around and being rejected or whether I'm doing the right thing and "hanging in there" for the sake of our marriage (we have no children).

I think if he's seeking help then obviously he knows something is wrong. Stick by him but make it clear that your life is just as important as his. After a few months counceling... see if he's improved. If not you need to think whats best for you. You've given him his chance, and he's either worked on himself or just not worth your time. You desrve to be happy as much as him. Dont let him pull you down. Its never too late to be single... and happy.

Ugh, I don't know... Only you can be the judge of that. Your husband might be clinically depressed - and things may change between you if he got treatment. On the other hand, he may just not be interested in being in a relationship with you any longer - in this case, it would be foolish to hang on, there would be a point when you just have to let go.

You guys made a vow to one another. I am glad to see you are willing to honor those vows. If he is willing to work this out with you, I think you should give it your all and no I don't think you are being foolish. Good Luck!

You should probably go to the counselor with him.
