I went through pretty similar situation 4 years ago. I am very happy I didn't divorce my husband back then!

I blamed him for not understanding me and my problems, I thought we had nothing in common. Now I know that it was mostly my illness talking and I had too much time to ruminate on every tiny thing I didn't like, because I didn't work full time back then.

My advice to you, don't make any big decisions until you fix your own situation first. Why can't you work? How about part time? Babysitting, dog walking, waiting tables, working at Starbucks? I can't imagine anyone who would not be able to do those things, at least part time.

If you really can't work for money, why not volunteer? Get yourself out of the house, do something useful, build your self esteem. Maybe your dissatisfaction with your husband will disappear, like mine did.

Bottom line, you can't hold anyone else responsible for your happiness. Even if he were the best person on Earth, just him alone still wouldn't be enough and wouldn't make you happy or satisfied.

Believe me, being single and mentally unstable is not fun at all. I am talking from personal experience.
