I don't know what to do or where to start? I'm quite depressed (I'm on a low dose of citalopram). I have no reason to be depressed except an unhappy marriage. It may be that my expectations are too high. Dh is a good man, he works hard, he loves his kids and does a lot with them, he's had a terrible year with 2 bereavements and a serious accident which has left him at home for 6 weeks. I think him being around has highlighted even more the state of our marriage.
We've been married 13 years and probably only had 2 good years in that time when we were having counselling. I came off the ADs and sorted out my weight/ fitness. It was a really good period. It started going downhill gradually again about a year after we stopped, and after another year or so I was back to the ADs.
It's got so bad now I feel it's intolerable sometimes. Some of it is dh and some of it is the weight of issues we have which is stressful. I'm so much happier and relaxed when he is not around. I'm so miserable that I can be really quite nasty to him.
Just want to vent really, hear others' stories, any advice. I want to turn this around rather than leave him but I'm feeling so powerless. He's absorbed in work, bereavement, health and not dealing with any of it so we just end up exploding at each other every so often.
