Crikey.

Ooo, scary - my ex says the same things have got in the way with previous relationships, but he's always just ignored the problems until now. So, are we all just harvesting problems that have been sown long before we knew them?

Um - don't panic?!

I am concerned though that I am pinning all my hopes on some form of treatment and therefore our marriage will then be ok. I know this is unrealistic.

I've had the same thoughts. I've got to be very wary of thinking that sorting out his depression will sort out the relationship. But you've taken a step in the right direction.
I'm cautiously optimistic for you - agreeing to see the doctors with you sounds like a massive step forward!

And I think you've done incredibly well for hanging on in there. To say he's had the same problems with previous relationships shows it's definitely him with the problem, you've nothing to do with it, and the fact that he's prepared to try and work it through with you when he's never tried before speaks volumes.

Have a great weekend, and I've got everything crossed for you!
