Keep telling him how much you love him and that you will listen to anything he needs to say and you will work on any problems with him. Need to know more about your situtation, sorry =/

He got really stressed out on his job several quit and then he started withdeawing from once loved activities at first then he said he couldnt do anything right and it just kept getting worse from there. No one in my family or his has depression so all this is new to me. He has a lot of anger and he is on edge. He wont seek treatment he says he had a worthless rotten feeling and just does not feel anything.

The anger is a big problem. We went to marital counseling and my husband was also depressed from it. He has not gotten any better and withdrew from me and from activities. He has been under alot of stress also but taking his displaced anger out on me. Seek treatment for yourself and for him, if he will go. you can not make him get help or help him other than be supportive. If he is unkind to you or refuses help, use appropriate boundaries with him. Keep your own mental health a priority during this trying time.
