My husband of nearly 25 years suffers from depression. He was involved in a 2 year emotional affair that has been over for a year now, but he continues to be on the fence about whether or not he loves me or wants to continue our marriage. I hear the most hurtful comments from him. I work hard to separate what he says to me from how I feel about myself and how others see me. Basically, I find my self worth from within and from my friends and family. I am wondering if his comments are born from his depressed state, or if they are his honest feelings. Am I in an emotionally abusive relationship, or will it improve when he has a handle on his depression? Since his affair he has treated me differently than what he had done in our previous 22 years of marriage. I wonder if there is hope of him ever returning to the loving and affectionate spouse he was for most of our marriage.

Wiser folk will come along sooner but listen to what he’s saying to you. You would accept this from friends & family so why him. Hold onto your self respect and ask yourself what is it exactly he’s bringing to your relationship. You are worth more than cheap put downs and disrespectful behaviours. Be brave and move on to better things.
