[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can tell who is more mentally out of it: OP or the spouse.

Would need to unpeel that onion w a skilled therapist. Or go honest observer. [/quote]

I was thinking the same.  OP is sounds like you have your own issues unrelated to your spouse.  You could use your own therapist.  Of course your wife need more/different medical help than what she is getting.  But she isn’t violent or abusive emotionally or physically with herself,  you, or the kids...just disinterested.  It sounds like your main peeve is you have to do all the household work and child related care when they aren’t in day care.  [b]That is what single parents do too.  Calling this a crisis and carrying on like the world is ending is a bit much.  [/b]

It sounds like you want to leave her and are trying (hard) to justify why to yourself and the rest of the world and I’m not sure it is entirely related to her depression.  [/quote]

You are incorrect.  It's much easier doing this as a single parent than when living with a depressed spouse.  I know.  I did it.  When there are no other adults in the household, it's far, far easier to control your environment.  You don't have to work around anyone else and you certainly don't have to take on the emotional burden of maintaining a facade for the sake of the kids.  That's hard to maintain over the long run and a soul sucking experience.  My life got 100% easier after my XDH and I separated and he wasn't violent or abusive.[/quote]
