Can I be happy again?
Relationship Stress / by antisocialloner96

...See more Me and my wife have been together for almost 5 years (dated 2, married 2 1/2). She struggles with severe depression and anxiety and she exhibits self destructive behavior when she gets in a rut. A few weeks ago she became extremely depressed and started going out partying, asked for a divorce and then she cheated on me. She came clean to me about it and told me it would never happen again and that she wanted to be with me forever. I'm trying to give her a second chance. I work out of state and she came to visit me for a week and we talked and had a good time together and now we are planning on getting an apartment here until my job is finished. I have been struggling with anxiety and maybe some depression lately and it has only gotten worse since she went back home. She seems like she is trying to do better and make things right but I'm afraid it will happen again or she will stop trying. I have lost all interest in my hobbies and I dont have any friends or family here, I work completely alone so I have no one to talk to except my wife. I used to love being alone, I used to do everything in my power to avoid human contact, but im afraid over the years I have become too emotionally dependent on my wife and gotten too used to being around someone all the time. If I thought I could find someone else I probably would but I have never been an outgoing person. I love my wife but I don't know if I can ever truly forgive and trust her again. I just want to be able to be okay with or without her like I used to be.
