Hi all, this is my first post. I'm having trouble with my depressed husband. He's always suffered from depression and as much as I've tried to be understanding I'm at the end of my tether.
It took a long time in my relationship to realise that when he's in it he needs time alone. I understand his needs and try my best to leave him alone, but recently is so bad that he doesn't speak or acknowledge me for up to 2 weeks at a time. Literally comes in from work, doesn't acknowledge me and sits all evening in another room. We have no conversation, eat separately and he comes to bed without saying a word, and repeat.
I totally understand the need for space but am feeling more and more frustrated. He won't talk, just gets angry when I try to address it. I feel as though he's not there for me, offers no emotional support and show no interest in me or my life.
Any ideas on how to improve the situation. I love him dearly and don't want to leave him.
