and excellent at budgeting and all things financial. We share housework, and I look after the chidren in the morning while she works and then I work afternoons and early evenings ( about 30 hrs a week). I have an illness that flares up from time to time but feel ready to work longer hours. I cook every other day, bath the kids, get them dressed and the eldest ready for school then walk him in with the youngest in tow. I fix stuff round the house, split the day up at weekends if we both need a rest, I'm far from perfect but feel taken for granted. She's on antidepressants which seem to help, but not enough. I want to stay with her, I can't face the family breaking up.My biggest faults are my moods and irritation with the children, although they always know they are loved and get plenty of hugs and are happy. I think I must be very frustrated with the situation. I have been gearing myself up for a split for a while, all I have to do is stop cooperating...

All marriages have their faults, please try to be patient and pray.
This storm will pass and you'll be glad you did. Because all in all, you sound like you have a good marriage (except for the issue at hand, obviously). Believe me, there are some horror stories out there.
And like my friend always says to me: you divorce and marry someone else - how are you so sure the next person won't be a 100X worse?
One last piece of advice that gets me through my storms: the devil you know is better than the angel you don't know. Think about it.

Go to counseling.The anti depressants are NOT a cure.Depression is a thought pattern.Unless she learns to look at things differently then she will always be depressed until she dies.

call her bluff. what I did to my wife she pulled this same act. and one day I was like fine file it and I will sign it., after that she never brought it up again. sounds like she knows you will cave in with saying that to get her way.
