Depression and anxiety

Hello. My husband and I are going through a divorce. We started having problems in November of 2024, and he decided to go talk to a female coworker about me and our problems. Him talking to her would have been ok if he didn’t hide it from me, and if he didn’t lie about it. He went out on New Year’s Eve and was gone almost 8 hours. When he finally got home he said “I lost track of time”. Then a few days later he went out at about 11:30 pm to “go to the gas station”. He didn’t come home until almost 2 am. While he was gone I looked at our phone bill. There was a number that was calling him almost everyday for 3 or 4 hours at a time. I asked him about it when he got home, and that’s when he said she’s “just a friend”. I told him that I didn’t believe him. He’s lied before about women being “just friends”. He has made me feel like I am absolutely crazy for trying to talk to him about it, and wanting a divorce. I now find myself checking the phone bill even though I know they’re still talking. I can’t stop myself. 😞 I am completely broken, lost and confused. I do have a diagnosis of PTSD, depression and anxiety. He knew all that.

Sending Strength! Be very kind to yourself because this is a traumatic event and you should focus most on self-care right now. Wolves eat sheep, We need to learn better how to build our own self-esteem up, and also learn to advocate and defend ourselves and most importantly is self-care. 

Blessings, Day

@lavenderOwl7956 With a husband like that, who needs enemies? He's obviously no good for you...a divorce is the right option. However hard it is to go through now, by doing so you will give yourself an opportunity to feel better later.
