I'm not so sure a person becomes mentally ill because their marriage is not going well. More likely, as I understand it, an unhappy marriage may cause underlying mental illness to become more apparent. In any case you have a big decision to grapple with - whether to stay or go. You have to look at what you have to gain or lose by staying verses what you have to gain or lose by leaving. Part of that depends on the capacity of both your husband and yourself to grow and mature.

Right. I feel like I've lived through all the pain already and I'm still standing. Thinking if we can move on to the more mature phase where we just don't care anymore and can enjoy each other in a new way...
The hardest part is there is so much that we really like and get along about each other. Is it possible to be so great in so many ways and so abusive in others?
