After 8 years together we got married. We were separated by our third anniversary and have a child. Been separated for over a year and living in different places for about 6 months. I didn't want to separate but I knew that she didn't love me anymore. Just found out tonight that she is seeing someone else. Ive been dealing with depression since the break up and this is sending me into a spiral. I'm so lonely and don't feel worthy of going on. I'm devastated and have no one to talk to

You're going through a very rough life event right now. You are going to be okay, though.

Look for a therapist. They can really help you navigate this change in your life.

In the meanwhile, connect with your friends, family.... having support now is important. Don't isolate yourself. Concentrate on your work. Taking care of yourself such as healthy eating, exercising, doing hobbies you enjoy.... all important in having good mental health.

Splitting up is really difficult. But you will be okay!

I've been speaking to a therapist online until I couldn't afford it anymore. I got fired for the first time in my life a few weeks ago ànd am trying to get back on track financially. Wasn't doing to well before I was fired. Lost all of my friends trying to be a good husband and family is moving away in a month. Kind of lost that's why I reached out here honestly the only thing I have to look forward to is the few times a week that I get to see my kiddo but I don't feel like a good father dealing with depression and money woes. I'm trying I really am but I'm spinning out

Know that you are not alone. My situation is similar, my husband cheated and left me for another woman, they split and I came back home in August but the grim reality is he never wanted to work on things, he just wanted someone to pay his bills smh. This is a real low point but as everyone says you will be ok! Each passing day gets a little easier. Depression is a beast! I struggle myself. Allow yourself to grieve but in the same allow yourself to be happy on the better days. Best of luck to you, this is a great group with alot of support.

Sorry to hear that. You should seek wise counsel from a Pastor or counselor. They can encourage you and give you direction as to how to proceed. Try to find someone who can pray over you and your marriage - prayer is so helpful! If you sense that your wife will reconcile - there are great marriage seminars out there - like "Weekend to Remember". Christian based and led by couples who also went through tough times.. Prayers for good things to come in your marriage!

I certainly know the feeling of being lonely. I listen to books, exercise and I am thinking of joining some groups. Keep your head up, you are not alone in this.

    Ever since I stopped doing therapy because of insurance, I've been feeling that old tense and irritable sense of anxiety and stress. I hate that. I was making so many strides and changes during therapy, my therapist would acknowledge all of my progress and accomplishments, and I miss that reassurance. Today I thought about it, and I made those changes! She would always tell me that I chose to...

    I'm horrified!  I knew my insurance would go up due to getting a new car but I didn't expect it to go up over $2,000.  I did have an accident with the snow/ice in the winter.  I was just telling my brother that I have had my car since March 2, 2026 and have only spent $75 on an oil change.  Now this!  I called another insurance company and their quote was over $4,000.  I guess I have to pay...
