Image Source: bing.comIntroduction
Marriage is a beautiful bond between two people, but sometimes things go wrong, and the relationship falls apart. I was married to my first husband for 12 years. Unfortunately, he passed away in a car accident, and I was left alone with my two kids. After a few years, I met my second husband, and we got married. However, things are not going well between us. My second husband is desperate and depressed, and I don’t know what to do.
Desperate and Depressed
My second husband has been struggling with depression for a long time. He lost his job a few years ago, and since then, he has been feeling hopeless and helpless. He spends most of his time in bed, watching TV or sleeping. He doesn’t eat well, and he has lost a lot of weight. I have tried to help him, but he doesn’t want to listen to me.

I have tried everything to help my husband. I have taken him to a therapist, but he refused to go back after the first session. I have tried to motivate him to find a job, but he doesn’t want to try. I have even tried to get him to exercise and eat healthy, but he doesn’t want to listen. I feel like I am stuck, and I don’t know what to do.
Impact on Our Relationship
My husband’s depression has had a significant impact on our relationship. He is always sad and moody, and he doesn’t want to do anything with me. We hardly talk, and when we do, it’s usually about his problems. I feel like I am living with a stranger, and it’s taking a toll on me. I am worried about our future, and I don’t know if we can survive this.

I feel helpless and frustrated. I love my husband, and I want to help him, but I don’t know how. I have talked to my friends and family, and they have suggested that I leave him, but I don’t want to give up on him. I know he is going through a tough time, and I want to be there for him.
Seeking Professional Help
After much thought, I have decided to seek professional help. I have made an appointment with a therapist, and I hope my husband will agree to come with me. I am also looking for support groups for spouses of people with depression. I know I am not alone, and there are other people going through the same thing as me.

With time and effort, things can get better.
