My husband and I have been together for 13 years, married for 7. We were separated for 14 months, and he moved back in at Thanksgiving. Well, he has slowly declined, and has had 2 panic attacks (the 1st ever) in the past 3 weeks. He started seeing a psychiatrist, and was prescribed Lexapro for depression and Klonopin for anxiety. He quit taking the Lexapro, says he doesn't want to depend on meds for the rest of his life. I have triied so hard to do everythng in the most supportive way. I have missed work, taken care of him. I even booked us a night at a hotel and 2 massages for last night. He didn't even get off of the couch yesterday, so I had to cancel the reservations. The abour 12:30 last night he told me he can't be here, he can't stand to hear my voice, he has had suicidal thoughts, and he feels like I'm smothering him.
I have been very careful not t be overbearing. Yesterday I didn't even sat anything to him about it, I just kept to myself. So, what do I do? Is this the depression talking or does he really feel this way about me? We have 2 children, a 6 yr. old and a 19 month old. I haven't told him to move out, but I'm not sure I can continue to live with him. At the same time, my children need stablity, and I don't want him to leave now only to try to return later. I am at a loss...
