[quote=Anonymous]My Dh's affair came out several months ago, we've been doing intense individual and marriage counseling that has overall been going well but we been A LOT of emotional labor and there's major mental/emotional exhaustion on both ends. His work had a crisis the last two weeks that has required him to work insane hours and jump in to take on duties outside of his role. Our kids are 6 and under so home life is chaotic. Thursday night we had a "regression" not affair related but he told me a stupid white lie that he came clean about the next morning. I did not yell or anything, but conveyed my extreme disappointment after all the work we've been doing. He came to me sobbing saying he doesn't want to live, we'd be better without him, he can't spend another day with himself, he needs to disappear, and then not talked, eaten, drank, showered, or been functional since then. I asked if he has a direct plan of suicide and he said "I just don't know how to do it". He is not ok. He's gone from his eyes. He has been sitting and blankly staring out the window or at the kids for hours and hours. Says the will be better off with him gone.

Calling my in laws and likely heading to the hospital. I cannot be solely responsible for little kids that need all my attention and give him the attention he needs. What do I need to know here? What to expect from going to the hospital? Do I reach out to his work? If so- his boss or HR somehow? He hasn't quite been at his current company a year so I'm assuming he doesn't qualify for FMLA- does this mean he could lose his job? Money is NOT my main concern here but we are MC and his makes 65% of our HHI and carries the insurance.[/quote]
