What do you do when you think you are bad for someone but they still love you and want you?

My wife is a basket case. She has lost her business because of COVID. She has been locked in the house since March because of COVID. She is OBVIOUSLY wildly depressed. She is having physical pain with no explanations, headaches, pins and needles to the point she cannot be touched. Sometimes the headaches last days - sometimes they only start when I am coming home at night. I have never hit her. I have never called her names. I can count on one hand the times I have yelled at her in 25 years but she cries now. She told me she isunder s lot of stress, that I give her a lot of stress and that she would rather I just hit her instead. Then she cried. This happened while we wee putting together the kitchen table. Then she thought I was going to be angry with her days later over something small and she started to cry. I dont think I am a shit husband but it appears that I have broken her. Should I leave for her own good? I dont know what to do - she says she loves me, trusts me, and wants to be with me forever but it doesnt seem like I make her happy anymore....at all.
Dude, she sounds depressed. Dont leave her- get her some therapy
She's just depressed. She needs you now more than ever. It's important you wake her up to her depression... initially she'll be in denial. Show her sites about the signs n symptoms of depression. Tell her she's not alone and it's perfectly normal in these times to be depressed.

That's the biggest help you can offer her. Your hugs n understanding.

She needs to see a psychologist or psychiatrist. It doesn't sound like relationship issue so you shouldn't be making relationship decisions. This is obviously a mental health issue.

I scrolled down your profile and remembered you.

I hope my question isn't overly-blunt, but do you think her depression is related to your suicide ideation? You both seem in need for professional help.

Stories like this are extremely common these days due to the covid lock down. The cure which isn't working anyways is worse then the virus. Give things time to right themselves.

This sounds like a living hell. I hope things get better for you.

Please please encourage her to seek help. Please dont give up on her. Please take it from someone who struggles. She needs someone to talk to outside the home.

Also, this is nothing to do with you but everything to do with the depressive thoughts that are undoubtedly going through her head.
