[quote=Anonymous]I was in a similar situation. My husband left the Amy and he found a new civilian job - we are not retirement age. He slowly became depressed and refused to admit it. He wouldn’t leave the house, see friends, or work out anymore. He eventually lost his civilian job - I suspect he stopped doing work. I checked in on his job search and he told me specifically “there are no jobs.” That made me suspicious- I understand he was in more of a niche role but saying there are no jobs for him??? I checked Indeed and found a perfect role for him - it was in his field and although it was a long term temp position, it was a good job. I forced him to apply and he got the job.

It didn’t help. He continued to mope around the house and then explode at me once a month. I found myself getting depressed as well, living in that environment.

I ended up divorcing him and wish I hadn’t waited so long. It took me a long time to realize that he was the one who left the marriage and not me. Sadly there was no way to make him get treatment or take it seriously. But that was his choice and once I realized I couldn’t live like that anymore, it was clear what I had to do.

Best of luck to you - either way you’re in for a tough road. It gets better. [/quote]
