it certainly sounds like you have a lot of stressors on your plate. have you thought of counseling for yourself? I think that this could benefit you especially with your past history of suicide attempts, you need assistance building coping skills.

how much time have you put into questioning why you are in this marriage? you haven't written down any benefits you gain from it, but something is keeping you there. again, this is something to explore with a therapist.

a simple pro/con list is helpful as well. all the things you gain from the marriage go on the pro side. all the drawbacks of the marriage go on the con side. so far I see a lot of cons. some people are just afraid of being alone and that is why they put up with tons of crap. if you are going to be doing everything, you might as well be doing everything for yourself, without having to have the arguments and blame which are damaging to your selfesteem.
