Hi, I have been with my husband for 15 years but most of it has been unhappy and loveless, despite having 3 kids. These days we don't talk to and completely avoid each other, no eye or physical contact, have tried marriage counselling but it didn't help.

Also, I'm on sick leave for last 5 months for work stress and anxiety mainly due to lack of support and regular criticism from my manager over 5 years. Do you think I should quit or have a meeting with the boss to work on issues?

Two major areas in my life are causing me so much stress I'm exhausted all the time, please help by sharing your advice. Thanks

If you're unhappy in your marriage, you don't have to be in it. But be sure - it's hard.

If you are thinking of leaving your marriage, you will need an income to set up a new family home, so keep your job for as long as you can, even if you plan to reduce your work after getting a new mortgage etc.
