PND or real feelings?

Hi, I just joined this as I'm not getting the help I need from friends.
From my name u can guess I'm a dad of two boys, 3 & 1, we were due to get married soon but after a hen doo trip away she says she doesn't want to get married or be together.

She says I'm a great dad, parnter and earner for the family. She says I'm nice looking but doesn't find me attractive. She's tried to ignore these lack of feeling for a long time but it's all got too much. This empttiesness started soon after the one year old was born

I hope this is because of PND as she has no reason to leave. There is an on going situation in this girls own personal life that is extremely effecting her mood. I'm as supportive as I can be for this.
She doesn't want to blame anything for the lack of feelings, but wants to be friends and just friends. We have been together for 6 years. She's not willing to work or try anything. Could this be post natal depression and/or the result of her other personal problem. She is at counseling but stopped taking anti depressants.

Am I making this girl unhappy? I don't want this family to split without trying to save it. From engaged to single in a few days.

Call her GP let them know your dp has stopped her meds’ and maybe deteriorating.
If she won’t go to GP surgery ask for a Urgent Hv. See what GP thinks
Day to day Support her,tell her your here for her,and help with the kids.

She's promised me that she will go to the GP. She's certain that she will never feel the same about me again, and has now talked about taking the kids to live with her. I'm must stress that she herself says I'm not the problem.
