In a toxic marriage with a depressed husband – What should I do?

depressed man at waterside

I've been married 2 years and have baby.

My marriage is very toxic. My husbands said and done a few things which I'm struggling to deal with. He's broken my heart and its causing BIG fitna. I feel like I'll never forgive him or trust him ever again. If I stay in the marriage I will never move on from it. I will continusely feel insecure and miserable and worry it will effect my deen. As it is making me feel so depressed at the moment. I cry every day. I want disappear.... I feel like my soul needs to leave as I will never be happy with him (he no longer loves me) although I love him.....

The catch is he is depressed. The doctors feel he has it. The problem is I don't know if this toxic stage we are in is due to his depression or if its actually him and the way he feels.... or if I'm just making an excuse because I dont want to leave him. I'm also worried that I'll just make his depression worse and drive him to a dangerous place. I don't know if I should leave, or fight and try and save my failed marriage and help my husband. I don't know what to do. Will he ever love me again?

  1. Was he depressed when he married you? Did some thing bad happened that pushed him into depression?.....You say........... My husbands said and done a few things which I'm struggling to deal with. He's broken my heart and its causing BIG fitna.........but you also say you love him.

    It is hard to love some one when one is depressed People in depressed state loose interest in sex and other things that can make them happy. Why do you say "he does not love me"?
