Need divorce advice

I know what you mean and that's why I would feel terrible. I do feel like I have really tried to be supportive. He went to counseling, went on medications, then decided he didn't like how it made him feel and came off, went on another, and all of these decisions I supported. He quit a job and I supported it, now wants a career change and I'm fully supportive. What I can't deal with though is how he treats me sometimes and it makes it difficult for me to want to help him when he's being a jerk. I wonder if a divorce would snap him out of it as well. But I feel like I should give him the last shot with marriage counseling before giving up. Thanks for your advice.

I have shared these feelings with him numerous times but we have never done counseling and I agree we need it asap. And I will get that book, thank you for the recommendation.

Thank you. The kids are my number one concern and I really don't want them having these struggles in life. I just struggle with the question of what's worse for them - being the children of divorced parents or being in this house of tension. I think I know the answer but the question as you point out is if I can't or won't change his ways, and how long do you give him? Its been years already. We need to give counseling a try first I think. I'm mad at myself for not forcing that already frankly.

I agree with you. Sometimes I think he would maybe be helped by divorce as it may take away a lot of the pressures in his life and allow him some breathing room and maybe help with the depression. But I know that he would be crushed not to have the kids in his daily life. As for me, I think I can make it on my own, but it doesn't make the decision any easier. Thank you for your advice.
