Thanks for the responses. My Husband and I have agreed that we would really like to try to work on our problems and we're going to try to go to a therapist again. WillowMoon, you are very correct. I feel more depended on than loved and more like a Mother than a partner. I have told my Husband all about my feelings so he definitely knows how I feel. He hasn't really shared his feelings much with me. I have asked him to, but he keeps telling me that he doesn't really have anything worthy of sharing. He definitely doesn't want us to get separated or divorced. He seems to be happier overall with the relationship than I am and he doesn't seem to think we're doing as badly as I think. We both suffer from depression which has made things very difficult for us and I think our depression only worsens in the colder months.

Leed, I married him cuz I love him and can't/couldn't imagine my life without him in it (at least I felt that way 1 year ago), but lately I've been questioning whether those feelings are still there. I will admit that I think we rushed into marriage a bit too quickly (became engaged after 9 months of dating and married after 1 year and a 1/2 of dating), but I really want it to work out between us. I do think we both have a lot to learn in order to make things work. I was only going to consider separation to begin with since it's more immediate and I've heard divorce is very expensive. I'm pretty sure that I never want to get married a second time if this marriage doesn't work out so I can't see why it would matter that much.

I would definitely appreciate if you're able to give me any advice.
