My marriage is going through a rough atch. My husand doesn't trust me, I don't know whether I love him. It all came to a head yesterday, we had a flaming row, a lot of hurt things were said. In the end I ended up swallowing some pills, my husband came in obviously very angry. Today it feels we're so false, we try to talk but it feels like both of us can't open up anymore. I have told him I am willing to work on this but he doesn't seem to believe me

The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I'm sorry things are going so poorly for you. It sounds like you're under a lot of stress in your relationship. It must hurt a lot to not have your husband respond as you'd desire, especially when you've offered to work with him in getting help.

I guess if you are not sure if you love him, he may well be aware that your heart isn't feeling 'in it', even though you are saying you want o work it through, with your mouth.
It's hard. Quite normal though to go through periods of doubt etc.
I don't know anybody who escapes these thoughts from time to time.
Something I heard a preacher say once really helped me , regarding doubt.
'your doubts are the questions you are afraid to know the answers to...so often you won't go there and face what is presenting itself...instead you will let it linger and fester and colour your world...this unsure dread feeling...uncertain and squatting on your 'good thing' that was.
but look your doubt square in the eye. ask the hard question and wait for the certain answer. if you need to ask other questions on top....go for it....because it is only the truth that will set you free and eliminate a doubt - truth is GOD'S WAY OUT into freedom and love and life, but lingering doubt will cause nothing but strife. doubt is a tool God uses to make you sure, don't fear doubt embrace it and squeeze the life out of it....examine and push through to the roots.know the truth - for you , then seek God's mind on the matter, what does the word say.....then you will have the full picture...to make some decisions and to take up your stance firm again, sure and not confused'
i'm so sorry you are struggling right now, but i believe if you will get really raw honest with yourself , go under the feelings to the roots...you will find the fear that is trying to sabotage you.
perfect love casts out fear.
God is love.
there is no fear in love.
big hug to you and your hub xx
