he said he is burnt out and depressed, he has nothing left to give
You don’t move on, but try to ask him to come back for a talk. What happened? We need more info in order to help you.

he says he will make sure the girls and I are ok - we can have the house and the dog… that was all in the first conversation of him wanting to leave
he says my ppd took everything he had
Hire a lawyer. These are cold words but what he has done is wrong. You have two children and a life with someone and they just leave? Excuse me? It’s not even nice to walk away from the dinner table without a word what he has done is inexcusable. Hire a good lawyer.
we went to couples therapy it sucked - they told him if he wants to leave then leave wtf
post pardum depression
How old are your kids?
6 and 9
Some men are too chicken s**t to back up their wives when it comes time to support them with issues like that. I’m sorry honey. :(
this whole situtation is beyond me - everyday is shock
Amanda, your ppd had gone untreated for way too long. Have you ever been diagnosed with depression before? What about suicidal thoughts? Have you ever felt those? First thing you should do is to get a complete physical. Your hormones are acting up for way too long, or your thyroid glands are not functioning properly. Treating ppd can be done with medication, therapy, counceling, etc. Have you had any of these done for yourself? What about your children? Are they unhappy, agressive, do they have problems at school?
Just make sure he doesn’t rip you off. Hire that lawyer tomorrow morning. People deal with alzheimers and MS and diabetes every day that aren’t sick, they are standing behind the one they married for better and worse, in sickness and health, till death do us part.
Exactly! Plus he walked out on you when in fact he suppose to help you. He said he will make sure you will be fine, then he should go with you marriage counseling so he would understand what you go through. The previous counseling was not what you needed to attend. Your physician should arrange a proper counselor and the TWO of you need to attend. It is the minimum he should do for you if he promised he will make sure you will be fine.
I have been treated for ppd from day one literal. I still take meds and have regular visits with my dr
What kind of medication are you taking?
my ppd issues are long gone - he says he was done with everything three years ago.. and he has nothing left to give. I have a good job, take care of everything around the house, mow, shovel snow, dishes… everything … took down three trees last year put them thru a wood chipper.. trust me everything
If your postpartum depression has long gone, then what’s the problem? What happened to your husband that all of a sudden he walks out on you? There are support groups available and your doctor should have given you a list. You need to tell your husband to come back to you to talk things over and let him talk and tell you what has he in his basket.
the next reposnse I usually get from people is why do you want him - I believe in marriage and loving someone forever. It does not bother me to do everything. it bothers me he is ok with leaving cause i can take care of myself
Amanda, call your husband and tell him to come back for a talk. He needs to put all cards on the table for you to see what’s the matter with him. If he is not willing, do what dr. Ralph suggested, find an attorney.
that is the thing - he does not talk ever
I get
it is what is
get over
this is a sucky stitutation for everyone
i wish i could tell you why but i cant
thanks everyone
it is nice to hear from others
The law will make him talk. He can’t just leave you guys. If he is not willing to talk by himself, then he will talk by force of law.
Shame, this is a really tough one! I think you really need somebody close to you to help you out, look to immediate family or close friends! Get somebody over to stay with you and help you out. Thats about all I think of! Stay strong though, your girls will really need that!
Brian3400 is right. You need help and cannot be left alone.
