Dearest SnowBunny,
I don't know if this helps or even applies, but going through my own version of hell (serious clinical depression) fractured my marriage, I thought, beyond repair. True, there wasn't another woman, but just lives apart. Once I was on the mend, my husband informed me that he didn't think he was strong enough for me, found life with me boring, etc., so we continued to "live apart" in the same house. (I'd moved into my own private quadrant in the house during the depression) and now I stayed there, although I so desperately wanted us to start our lives again. After months of this non-living, I filed for divorce and he moved out. We were separated for a year and now, a few years post-depression, our marriage is spectacular. I would've sworn it was done, although I knew I'd always love him. Turns out I was wrong about us being done and right about always loving him.
What is it that you want? Are you done w/the marriage, too? It hurts like the blazes.
