My husband has been diagnosed with Depression in the last week.. he apparently hasn't been happy at home for a few years, but instead of talking about it he kept pushing his feelings away... So as a wife, i really didn't see this coming, 

thought our relationship was in a really good place..  So now am on a roller coaster of emotions and feeling, feel guilty for not seeing that there was an issue and that he wasn't well, feel guilty for getting upset with not having any intimacy or affection in our relationship over the last month, feel guilty for crying, feel at a loss and am scared of whats to come..    

He is talking to Councilor and is starting to tell friends and family, which i know is a good thing and is a relief to know that there is people here to support us

yes keeping busy does help so much, have had good weekend with some good friends... was good to get out and put the worry and stress away for a bit.. 

I'm giving my partner the space and time he needs for himself to heal and get the depression under control, which is extremely hard... but we do talk and txt daily.. 

I just hope he does want to come home and try and fix our relationship...
