My wife is probably depressed

She refuses to seek professional help

Summary:  A dedicated, loving, and patient husband still loves his wife even though she refuses to seek help for her ailment and is destroying the marriage.

Nick writes, "I think my wife is depressed and it will be good if she consults a professional. She is one of the most stubborn, bull-headed person I have ever met. I strongly believe that me trying to convince her to see someone will end up in her telling me if I don't like it or can't deal with it there is the door. Even if she knows deep down I am right I don't think she will accept and admit to it. I love her and don't want to just walk away. I have however told her to remind her that I will do anything with out question for her and give her all the love that I have. She recognizes that also. It is simply not easy to live with a depressed spouse because I am also very unhappy with my life due to a marriage on the rocks."

I totally understand how some things are so difficult for a couple to talk and this is one of those.

Is there someone in your friends/family network that she respects? A religious institution person that she is a member of? Sometimes we are willing to hear the most bitter things from a doctor or a friend or a pastor or even a stranger but not from a loved one.

It seems that you are being abused in this relationship by her. Any time a relationship is not full of love and happiness, there is a lot of suffering that we do not even realize exists but little by little it creates holes that get bigger over time. I am hoping that with the help of a professional she can get over some of these feelings.
