When is it time

Hey everyone i didnt know where to put this….

after another weekend of my husband spending it riding with his mates and not spending any time with me i have decided to leave him.

i cant be with someone that does value my thoughts and opinions, he just laughs at them, it is only his way or no way.

i feel so alone, sad i know, but it shouldnt be this way, that the only time we spend together is when he is asleep.

yes i have spoken to him numerous times about it, but it changes for 2 days and then back to normal.

this isnt healthy for me

    Sharna! There is light at the end of the tunnel even if you can`t see it right now. You do sound like a lovely person. Most of us, if not all of us, go through heavy stuff at some stage and believe me life keeps changing (often for the better!). I would chat to someone you can trust (mum/dad/brother/sister/friend from the past etc Anyone you feel comfortable or close enough with) Really open up to them and let them help you get the help you need – whether it be simply spending time in healthy company or getting some quality counselling. Don`t be ashamed to get counselling – it may only be one session of chat with a trusty GP (just like a normal appointment)! Having to deal with a cousin`s death right now is real grief and that would not be helping you see clearly on your own. I would be choosing to close my ears to anything that the `mother in law` has to say – her heart is simply not prioritising you over her son. Avoid her and her words as much as possible for your own health – both mentally and emotionally. Right now you need healthy support around you – surround yourself with only the people that do you good.

    Well talking is the first step…
    With all due respect – don`t listen to you mother in law – you do whats right for you and your husband. People handle depression differently and need different treatments. For me I found just talking to people really helped – but that took a trip to the doc`s for me to realise I could open up to my family and friends. I hope your talk went well anyway 🙂

    Sharna you seem like a very nice person. And from a males point of view to be truthfull we can be pretty thick, when it comes to emotional issues and like to crawl back into the view that women are over emotional, If you have plainly told your husband how you feel and stated that permanent action is needed – to no avail maybe you are better off without him, until he or someone else can value you for who you are. I know several times my wife has had to drum things into me.

    we did have a chat…
    it takes him 2 hours to digest what is going on
    what upsets me is that his mum says that you get over depression thru talking to friends and family not a counsellor or psych
    which i found insenstive seeing as my cousin whom had depression killed himself 3 weeks ago today
