I'm still on the leading edge of a potential divorce but I do know one thing... I learned through counseling was that my depression was normal for what I am going through. It didn't cure my depression, but sure made living with it more bearable. This assessment is shared by both my counselor and my primary care manager (doctor). Both feel that I have remarkable clarity about my situation.
Secondly, when leaning on friends, family and other professionals, don't ask them what you should do. This is your decision. If you take their advice and act, and it turns out differently from what you expected, you'll be blaming them for your plight. Don't ruin your relationships with others who really have nothing to do with the relationship between you and your spouse. I just let my family and friends know that I really appreciate being able to vent to them but please don't offer me any advice, I value our relationship and don't want it damaged because of what's happening within my marriage. |

Friends are not good to ask, especially if they are friends of the couple. First of all, if they are friends with both parties they will not want to divulge advice for fear of losing one friendship or the other. Secondly, friends have a way of telling you what you want to hear, to spare your feelings. Thirdly, they cannot really help, they can be a shoulder to cry on but not much help in recovery.
