My husband of 15 years has just told me he doesn't know if he feels anything for me anymore. We have two young kids and we have both recently started in new high pressure jobs. He was unemployed for a period of time and had been very down about that...and any other range of things. He feels guilt about our financial situation, is trying to loose weight and get on top of his health. We had a counselling session booked a few weeks ago and he asked to cancel it because he was trying to deal with his stuff and didn't feel he could address all of these things at once. I, after my crying, have asked him to get help before he does anything drastic and then to try counselling. I still love him......I devastated.........more really a vent at 11pm than a question. I believe him when he says there is nothing else going on, I'm just so sad that he feels this way and hasn't talked earlier :(

If you think he is depressed then there is a high chance this is numbing a lot of his feelings. I would give him space, time and try and let him know that you are there for him no matter what. There is a chance that if he has depression he seeks help eg. Counselling and/or medication that the fog will lift and he might begin to see things clearly again. Make sure you are looking after yourself too xx
