I need advice

Need support

My husband told me he wants a divorce. We’ve been married 2 years, together 5 years. A few days ago I told him I wasn’t happy and that I felt like neither of us were happy. He told me he was happy and didn’t understand why I wasn’t. I struggle with depression and am going through a really rough time lately, I think this has to do with it. Subsequently he asked if I wanted a divorce and I said I didn’t know, because I truly didn’t. He was upset and hurt that I couldn’t give him a straight answer which I understand.

We’ve had plenty of arguments in the past and are starting to again and we’ve both said things we aren’t proud of. He is a great person I just don’t feel happy, with myself or with anything for that matter. We decided time apart was best for right now and decided to try to rekindle in a couple weeks. I asked him yesterday if he already had his mind made up or if he really wanted to work on it. He said he doesn’t want it to get worse and that he fears if we stay together that it will. It broke my heart because I wanted to try and get myself right so I could be happy again and be happy with him. Why do I feel like he is giving up so quickly? He has not mentioned wanting to try to work on it or anything so I feel even more lost. He said divorce was not on his mind before until that day when I couldn’t give him a clear answer.

I can’t get through simple things without balling my eyes out right now so I feel I am not thinking clearly. When we talk he is cold and it doesn’t seem to be bothering him.

Any advice is appreciated. Thank you in advance! I’m sorry I’m all over the place with this post.
