Sorry for the name, it is for the sake of anonymity.
My wife had admitted to me (her husband) that she has been apathetic towards our marriage for 5 years. She believes that she will never be happy again, and will never have the complete love that she had for me before.
We are still both young, and attractive people - late 20's. On the verge of depression, she hasn't the slightest idea of what to do. She thinks her life is over and she will just be apathetic for the rest of her life.
I am also clueless as to what to do here. All I know is that if we do not do something, the marriage will fail. She is emotionless toward the marriage, and wishes she was dead. She is on the verge of severe depression, and upon asking her what she wants me to do to fill this void in her heart, she has absolutely no idea.
Can anyone please give us some advice, a guide?
A few causes were mentioned, which is some bad traits that I have, but not severe. Neediness and clingyness on my side, controlling and overly protective. And they have been worked on in the past and improved immensely. But the apathy had not receded.
She is so deeply into this that she has no will to go on, no hope or luster for life. She told me that I am the most perfect honest and loving husband, but she does not know why she feels this way and no idea how to fix it.
I am deeply saddened by this, and need help. Googling advice for this had not been very successful. We are going for marriage counselling starting next week. But I fear this will not fix her. We do not have money for more counselling for her i.e. individual. We both need to know what to do.
