[quote=Anonymous]I am so sorry.  He needs more than therapy...he needs a psychiatric workup and medication.  I also highly recommend learning oolong into ketamine treatment for acute suidicidality for him if you can afford it.

For you, please get a therapist stat. It is important for you to get support for this and not develop a codependency. You are not repository for his mental health.  But if he does get good treatment, you may find that it improves everything, including your marriage.  If every time you make a plan to leave he threatens suicide, you may be looking at borderline personality disorder rather than depression.  Just something to keep in mind.  That doesn’t mean suicide is not a real risk: some BPD people complete suicide as part of acting out their push-pull drama.  You are not responsible for that and I only mention it to give you permission to give yourself greater distance from him if he seems to pull out the suicide topic when he feels you pulling away.  You are not responsible for him.

I wish you luck.  I’m so sorry.[/quote]
