Will try and keep this brief. Please be gentle with me.
Background: several years of relationship going downhill - communication breakdown, work stress and DH poor mental health. Started couples counselling last summer. Two DC under 10.
Six months ago DH almost succeeded in ending his life. It's been a nightmare. I was really struggling in our marriage before, now I feel like I've lost all feeling for him. DCs love him to bits and I cannot see how I can split up this vulnerable family. I've had good support from friends and family, including a male friend whose online banter has made me smile. I am trying to support DH though its a bit minimal as I find it so hard to engage with him. I am increasingly looking forward to messages from my friend. I suspect that's not good.
A few months ago I told myself I wouldn't made any immediate decisions about DH and I, and that I'd give him a year of therapy (as he has done for me in the past) and see where we are then. However that therapy only really started this month. I am really unhappy.
So I realise there's no answer, I guess I'm just looking for support and any advice/tips for the short term. Thank you.
