[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel so alone in my marriage. I probably see my spouse for 1 hour a day as he comes home at 10:30 or 11 pm.

On weekends he is exhausted so he sleeps in late and then spends the day zoned out playing video games.

Our sex life has been non existent.

At night I go to bed while husband is up playing video games.

I am so depressed and alone.

First, your husband is probably not in a great place emotionally either, so you can’t really depend on him to help you feel better.  Look at what you wrote: he works long hours, only has video games as an outlet, and doesn’t have a good sex life.  This is not a recipe for a happy emotionally engaged man, ok?  He is probably depressed but that doesn’t mean YOU have to be depressed.  You can’t use your spouse as an emotional crutch because they will not always be healthy or emotionally available.  We all have bad times in our lives and when we break down our spouses can’t beeak down too.  You can lift yourself out of this funk or dump your husband and still be in a funk.  Do things that you like to do, even if you are doing them by yourself.  Invite DH to participate in activities but if he doesn’t want to it’s ok.  Do you have a social life?  Friends?  Hobbies?  Spend time on those things.  If DH sees that you are enjoying your life he might decide to do them with you.  And if he doesn’t, that’s a problem you can deal with later.

Just work on making yourself feel better first.[/quote]
