Actually, to think of it, my husband is a product of my own making. I've always been the type of person who takes care of everything. Even when I was working 12 hour days, I still came home and cooked, cleaned, etc. I guess he has just gotten used to it.

You have to understand that our relationship is odd. My husband is a very intelligent person (almost scary smart) sometimes. Out of the 14 years we have been together we have only had 2 arguments. He is not a very sympathetic type person and does not display emotions very often. To put it in a nut shell, he's just not an emotional type person. When it comes to situations like this, he may care but he doesn't show it, so when he told me that he was thinking of leaving, I was shocked.

My family does not understand how depression can really effect a person. My husband just says that I'm just down on myself and I need to get out more and get my feet wet again in the real world. When I try to explain to him that it's just not that easy, he drops the subject.

As far as going to see a counselor, that will never happen. He has no use for counselors. He believes that if your not happy in the situation you are in, get out, "why pay someone to tell you your not happy? It's a waste of money.".
