My wife of nine years is struggling with her own feelings, lack there of in our marriage. She feels as though over the years I have let her down, and she feels as though she was unhappy for so may years and she blames me. I am at a loss, because this has all hit me like a ton of bricks. She has always been the type that is quick to get angry and a head strong stubborn person, I am quite and reserved person who does not like to steer up trouble especially in my relationships.
Basically she does not won't a divorce, but does not know if her feelings for me will return. We have two children 5 and 2.
I guess I am wondering if these reactions toward a relationship are typical with depression. I love my wife and will endure just about anything, but the lack of intimacy and affection is killing me. She spends alot of time on the phone with friends, mainly two specifically, and has no problem spending a couple weekend a month with these friends.
Need advise, what can I do or say, therapy? Do I need therapy?
I'm confused and beside myself.
