What do I do?
My husband of almost 5 years (been together almost 10 years in total) has walked out on me saying he isn't happy and he doesn't love me anymore! We have never had any big fights only had the usual arguments that married couples have and always worked things out. Over the last 5/6 months he had become distant, started working more and spending time with friends or work colleagues at weekends so obviously I became upset with this and was always trying to talk to him about how I felt and he always said he would try harder etc. He never once mentioned being unhappy until a month ago when he tried to leave me but only lasted one night before coming back saying he had made a mistake. However nothing changed he was still not spending time with me so again I asked him to talk to me about how he felt and again he said he wasn't happy, didn't want to hurt me but he thinks it's best if we split. He says there's no one else as I did ask him that as I know the signs point to that. He says he will be there for our baby (oh yes, I'm 25 weeks pregnant by the way) but cannot stay with me.
I am absolutely devastated and don't know what to do, I am struggling to get through each day. I have history of depression and anxiety on and off for around 4 years but was doing well over the last year. I don't really have a support network, my parents live an hour away and to be honest they tend to cause me more stress than support so I haven't even told them. My in laws are brilliant but it just feels awkward talking about their son. I don't have many friends and I am ashamed to tell anyone that my husband no longer wants me and they all have husbands and kids of their own so I feel like I would be a burden to them anyway.
I'm just heartbroken, we tried for 6 months for our first baby and now that it's happening I'm just so sad all the time. I still love my husband so much and can't imagine bringing up our child without him at home, it's just not what I wanted for our child. What can I do? How can I convince him to try to save our marriage, he doesn't want to try anything, it's like he's just giving up on us. 😢
