[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm putting up with it. I've convinced him to quit his job at the end of the year to focus on himself. Between savings and my income, we'll be fine financially. I need him to get better. Fingers crossed it will help and not make things worse.[/quote]

How did you convince him? Mine claims he would be even worse out without the focus of work which makes me want to scream that that’s all the more reason he needs more help[/quote]

He's probably right. Making yourself unemployed by quitting is not usually an effective way to cure depression. I mean if he's in his sixties and you guys are loaded that's one thing, but if you need the money, becoming unemployed is not a good idea.

I just wanted to say that, while I think it's fine to leave him, I also think it is ok to stay with him. Marriage vows are "in sickness and in health." There is nothing wrong with not leaving someone who is in the midst of depression - quite the opposite, IMO. At the same time, you gotta look out for yourself. If he is being a jerk to you over and over, you are within your rights to leave.[/quote]
