I Am Unhappily Married
I have come to the conclusion that I'm only still with my husband because I take anti depressants.

I'm very sorry to hear this. In my experience it's never about the other person. When I wasn't happy in my relationships it was always because of me. I had to face what I really wanted and had to find the courage to do what's best for me.
Can I ask you if you stayed because of everyone else do you think they would be happy? Kids pretty much learned from what you do more than what you say.

Generally good, but I think I see evidence of needing the tablets when I'm at work, I don't handle pressure very well without the tablets.

I just want to be happy if that means taking artificial muck for the rest of my life or at least until my kids are older then so be it.
I can't trust my judgement without the tablets but then I'm left wondering if I merely living in an artificial world of my making.@ArtVandelay:

@OtherRealMe: Do you and your husband spend much time together, just as a couple, doing things you both enjoy?
OtherRealMe · 46-50, F
We enjoy different things and the things we do enjoy together always seem to be sidelined or masked because we are so busy.
Thankfully we are going away as a family for a week very soon and that is one of our mutual pleasures; spending time with our children without the rush of the normal day to day getting in the way.
Thank you, it's a very simple thing but you've made me realise I need to encourage more family fun to help my marriage. Xx

I don't know if I could leave, my kids would be devastated and while I struggle to live with my husband he's a good father who loves his family.
I do love him but I don't think we're right for eachother.
I'm sorry to hear you are unhappy too. Happy to chat if you need to. X

Dear lord, give the strength to change the things I can change, the courage to accept the things I can't change and the wisdom to know the difference between them. . . Or something like that.
So, what will you choose to do ?

I'll keep taking my tablets, that way I can be happy enough and my family won't get torn apart.

@About2: believe me, so do I. X

You didn't say but I assume you are considering divorce.
Making life changing decisions while on anti depressants may be ill advised.

Thank you for your concern. I’ve been off the tablets for quite a while now and am still with my husband. I realised I had given up too much of myself, became someone I didn’t feel right with. Thankfully I’ve rediscovered who I really am and these days I wear my weirdness with pride. If people don’t like the real me I don’t ask them to stick around, it’s their choice. The difference is I’m now much happier.
