Grace,
I so wish I could help. Believe it or not, I understand at least part of what you are saying. This is a second marriage for me. I won't go into a lot of details about that except to say, I was married just after I turned 18, she was 25. After 9 years of marriage, I thought I would be there forever, and I attribute alot of my earlier depression, my suicide attempt and subsequent hospital stay to the marriage. When I checked out of the hospital, I did so knowing that a divorce was going to have to take place. A man hates change too, and I was a wreck for several months during the divorce fighting for at least something I had owned. I ended up with the house. No furniture at all, no vehicle, and monthly alimony payments in a state without allimony, even though we had no kids and both worked. But I managed it, and it gave me a new life that I adore.
I don't mean to push you toward a divorce, but my decision was that while I couldn't control part of my depression, I could change my lifestyle and remove some of what I believed were contributing factors. My marriage was one of those things.Again God bless, and take care of you
Chris
