I think your analogy of headaches/migraines and depression makes a lot of sense. I may use that in trying to explain depression to other people. Because every one has had a headache at some point in their life. It's an easy analogy to make.

I'm not against single motherhood...I just know in the states it's very difficult. We don't get the kind of support you seem to have in your country. I guess I mostly worry for the child and the child itself having stability in his/her family unit. I think the child deserves to see a healthy and happy parental relationship modeled for them.

I just worry for you because the new guy clearly has a lot of issues, and even though you are crazy about him, I think you need to ask the question "is he good for me?" "Will he be there for me?"

I don't think that you should have another child with your current husband, if you are feeling so alienated from him.

Congrats on graduating from university soon too! That's a great accomplishment.

So, maybe weird question, but do they have sperm banks in your country? I mean, could you select a sperm donor and have a 2nd child on your own? If you really want another child and not concerned about a partner, then maybe that could be a solution.
