I've been married for just over three years now and if you were to ask my wife what is going on at the moment, she would say that she lost her love for me. I could write a novel on this, but I will try and keep it short. She wants out, at least she "thinks" she does. But if you were to ask her why, or ask her what she wants when she gets out, its completely empty. She is without doubt suffering from depression and does have baggage in her past. I'm looking for some people that may have gone through similar experiences, I have alot of questions and concerns and currently trying to give her the space she needs right now as she is about to enter her first therapy session. I could start by saying that she is not a very good communicator, and if she has things that bother her she will not openly discuss them. She has also been in abusive relationships, one after the other and I'm her first...ummm....we'll say "good guy". We are both mid 30's and this is both our first marraige.

Yes I am a woman. Yes I have had experience with psychotherapy for depression and yes it helped. But you seem to be asking for validation that you are right and she is sick??
I would suggest that you ask her to attend marriage counselling with you. Choose a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, or Psychologist. Then they are qualified to determine if your wife is depressed, or if you are clinging to false hope etc. IF she refuses to attend with you, then go alone and get help for you to get through this very difficult time.
Blessings.

You need to let her go. Maybe it's YOU who can't believe it's over....? And you should get counseling, too.
