[quote=Anonymous]DH and I have been together for 8 years, married for 2.  We used to have a great relationship and have always considered each other best friends and lovers. However the past two years we have slowly been unraveling. Our lack of communication skills, resentment built up and anger got the better of us and we have been acting poorly towards each other. I take my responsibility in it. After we got married I changed. I guess I fell into "wife" mode and became serious and started hounding my laidback husband for a 5 year plan, next steps and developed anxiety. I put down his hobbies, his interests and even his earning potential. (yikes, I know!)

He told me I was being hurtful and to back off but...I wouldn't. Slowly he checked out and fell into a depression at the beginning of last year.  I found out recently that he has been contemplating divorce with some of his friends and suspect he has cheated on me with a random online hookup or two. He has never confessed or admitted to it.

My mind is reeling. I do NOT want to lose him and this is sort of a wake up call for me. I love him and us and want to make it work. Am I being too naive to think he only cheated because our marriage was in shambles and he wanted to feel better? Is it crazy that I sort of feel...responsible?

What is the best way forward?[/quote]
