Wife is leaving me

So me and my wife have been together since we was 18. We're now 31 and we got married just less than 3 years ago. We have two daughters aged 5 and 3 since our second child we have both sufferd depression but never seeked any help we both just took it on the chin. We have had a great relationship throughout the years but we have struggled since our wedding. I put it down to life as we have struggled to adapt to life with kids. We put all our effort into our kids and we have lost that sparkle for each other. I've never abused her and there's never been anyone else on either side we was just in a rut. Went to bed on the Wednesday night talking about sex and our future all cuddly and rosey then she tells me 10 hours later that she's leaving and doesent love me anymore. I'm just heartbroken. Never knew what we had until it's gone. Our kids was so happy with us both and now they're both confused and sad at times. We have both seen a gp since and they've confirmed we're both extremely depressed. I know things could change but she's adamant that's that. I seen no signs. Every spare time we spent as a family. We would rather stay in together than go out with friends etc.. I can see we've both been un happy but I'm adamant it's because of our mental state rather than just our relationship. She's moved into her mum's until we sort a place for me. It's been 2 weeks now we still talk and have had family days out because our girls love it and we have got on but she wants things move so fast she wants sort out the house etc.. I just can't believe it.

I’m sorry to hear this. It seems that the fact you both suffer with depression has taken a huge toll on your relationship.

Have you suggested marriage counselling? Or even both of you going to counselling separately? It may help you both realise there’s something still worth fighting for.

Good luck x
