He brought it up formally tonight. I just don't know what I'll do if that happens. On a major plus, he is going to seek first individual counseling and then possibly marriage counseling if it comes to that. I've never dreamed I would be treading these waters.

((HUGS)) I'm so sorry. Stress in a marriage is extremely hard on your mind. Make sure to take gentle care of yourself.

I'm sorry. I am glad he's going to try counseling.

I'm still praying.

I'm sorry, hopfully therapy can help. Can you talk to your mom about staying there again? Please put in for section 8 and any assistance you can get even if you're staying with your mom. Get the ball rolling on ssi, too. You deserve a stable household .

I am sorry cashart, I wish mine would. I hope he gets what he needs from it and things turn around for you. In the meantime

I'm sorry this is happening to you. I chose to separate and then divorce my husband, and that time was challenging beyond belief. Let yourself mourn and be angry, and be sure to work this out in your counseling no matter what the eventual outcome is.

Oh no! I'm so sorry to hear this! But hopefully the individual counseling can help him understand himself so that he can be there for you. And marriage counseling is a great idea too. I truly wish the best for you and your family so that you all are able to get through this difficult time. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Take care.
Thanks for this!

So, your husband brought up the unspoken thing you have been so worried about. Now it is out in the open and you get a chance to weigh in on this. Will your husband listen to your thoughts and hopes and fears? I hope you are able to begin to process this scary prospect. I'm not saying that this applies to you, but a few months ago I was out of my mind with worry that my husband would leave me if I left my well paying job. I told my daughters my fears, they reminded me that if I really thought I couldn't live without their father, then I was strongly codependent. Please put yourself first right now, eventually the rawness will wear off. I hope your family steps up to show their support for you.
Thanks for this!

Hugs! I got separated right after my Bipolar I diagnosis- my husband couldn't handle or accept it. That being said, I wouldn't wish the path of separation / divorce on anyone but it is possible to get through.
If I had to do it over again, I would have searched for someone who specializes in marriage counseling vs a general psychologist, which is what we saw a couple of years prior to our divorce.
You are right on the plus side- your husband is getting individual therapy for what has been a tough time for your family. I would still seek out a marriage counselor, even if he is not ready to go. It may help you better able to assess what you need to bring into the marriage.

Thank you all so much for your support! I still have hopes. Tonight, my husband and I went on a date and my mom and dad kept my kids overnight. Your thoughts, wishes, and prayers are greatly appreciated.
