[quote=Anonymous]OP here - thank you all for your feedback.

To clear a few things up: I am seeing the therapist through a grief counseling center, and though I lost the baby several months ago I am only now starting to see her on a regular basis as the sadness catches up with me. (I have been burying myself in work until now.)

I am honestly terrified of being a single mother; I always wanted a family, but never just a child, if that makes sense. My husband also very much wants to be a father and we are actively trying to conceive again.

My therapist didn't advise divorce exactly - she confirmed that my husband's (intermittent) behavior is not acceptable and that my mental state makes this a bad time to be making any major decisions, including getting divorced or getting pregnant. She feels that my current situation is not a healthy environment for a baby and a depressed mother is very bad for a child.

I wish I had years to sort it all out but I am about 40 so I'm feeling tremendous pressure - to make the marriage work, to get pregnant again, and financially too, as I am currently the breadwinner in our household and we cannot afford to move to a larger home.[/quote]
