Why I had divorced

I''ve had depression ever since I was in my early teens. lately it had been a lot worse. so worse that I got divorced by my now ex-husband because he can''t deal with it anymore. He feels that seeing me in my state would make him fall apart soon too. And I can''t do that to him.

I feel for you and your situation. Depression (or perhaps its something else?) is no joke, and needs professional help. Have you seeked help from a dr or counsellor?

Thats pretty low, that you felt you had to divorce him because you thought you would bring him down aswell, did he not help and support you through this? I loved and supported my stbx through her mental conditions, yes its draining at times but you get through the lows together. We are now divorcing, although for entirely different reasons, nothing to do with her mental state.

Take care.

Thank you.

Yes, I''ve seen a doctor about my condition. It really was clinical depression and more than anything else, that was the hardest part. Accepting that I am actually "broken". But I''m going through therapies and counselling.


I know it would be kind of unfortunate and sad that we can''t help each other in sickness and in health. He''s been there for me for me and stuck with me despite my mental state. However, there were decisions and actions that led us both into deciding and agreeing with divorce.
