[quote=Anonymous]He used to be, but not for the last decade or so.  He's had some health issues and setbacks at work and has become extremely critical and downright mean.  I've suggested that he see a doctor because I believe he's suffering from depression, but he insists he's fine.  We mainly avoid each other in different rooms, which is probably best.  When I've been bursting at the seams to talk with someone, I sometimes try with him.  He tells me that I have nothing to complain about and that most women would envy my life -- a nice, big house and several kids who are doing well.  Those parts are very true, but I feel more and more like I'm going to fade away without someone to talk to.  I think I require less social interaction than most, and having a close spouse would be enough for me most of the time.  Divorce is not really an option since it would mean taking our children out of the private schools they love and cutting back on an activity at which our child excels.  I can't do that to them.
