[quote=Anonymous]OP. DH was diagnosed with depression a while ago and was prescribed medication. He has a VERY stressful job. For some reason he stopped taking the medication. Then he restarted, but on a much lower dose, which was not consulted with his MD. I can't mother him and ask him every day if he took the meds or not. It doesn't work. When he was going to his regular therapy once a week in addition to couples therapy once a week, things were better. Our work schedules, kids and after school activities make it almost impossible to schedule a couples therapy session.

DH is not beating me up. I did not grow up in religiously oppressive home, rather a home where faith and religious traditions were important. I am not dumb, and I know my parents marriage was not perfect, but to say that I grew up not knowing what a good marriage is is a far stretch. Like one PP mentioned it was rocky at times, and now, after 35 years is better than ever.

If I were to divorce as a final option, I am not afraid of what family, friends will say. For right NOW I can't see it be THE BEST option for anybody.

I am glad there are perfect marriages out there. I have not yet come across one. We are imperfect human beings by default, therefore it would be hard to create something where there would not be a glitch for 15, 20 or 30 years. Some here accused me of being delusional, but seeing somebody say they had "never in 15 years gone through tough times" is hard to believe.

As of right now, we are both trying to fix our marriage. I am trying to help him de-stress, take some responsibilities off his shoulders yet make it clear I will not stand for disrespect and unnecessary nasty and vindictive behavior. I really hope he can get himself back on track, so our family can stay together.

THANKS to all for your input. [/quote]
