What should I think when my depressed husband says he doesn't love me anymore?

Answer by  kismet029 (38)

Firstly, don't blame yourself. Your husband is depressed and that has a strong impact on how he feels about relationships. He is trying to understand his own life and if he cannot accept himself, he will have a difficult time accepting and even more importantly, loving someone else. Be patient and try to encourage him to get professional help.

You should be thinking that he is cheating and start snooping on him. Cheaters try to act like they are the victim. He could be genuinely depressed but if he's cheating this will be his excuse. I cheated because I was depressed. You need to snoop around and if you don't find anything--go to counseling. Good Luck.

If your depressed husband says such a thing, I would rule out clinical depression first and foremost. Help him get an appointment with his doctor would be a first step.

He may and may not mean it, but I would question him further about why he feels that way and then seek the advice of a marriage professional to be sure.

You should focus on helping him get out of the depression, not what he is saying. Once he is feeling well then talk about your feelings.

I am in same position - husband has a severe clinical depression & feels he no longer loves me even though we have been very happy for 21 yrs+ and he admits he felt ok before illness. Confusing times but get him treatment!
