Apathy is a classic symptom of depression
and health issues are a classic cause.
Ditto, lack of energy, withdrawal and isolating.
Depression is psychological, but also physiological: brain chemistry out of whack. This makes it eminently treatable.

Re:
Oh lovelylady, you couldn't hurt me if you tried! My husband did tell me the other day that he thought he might be depressed so we obviously will be pursuing that. Otherwise, I am praying.

But all I can give is empathy! *hugs* My thoughts go out to you! Stay strong!

Tamijo,
I am so sorry to be reading your hardships once more. Honey, I'm no expert on marriage-I've never been married myself and am not likely to be-but I think it's time for you to start putting yourself ahead a bit more. If your husband only seems interested in his alcoholic and addict friends, maybe it's time to call it quits...even if only temporarily.
Like I say, don't take anything I say too much to heart-I'm no good at the opposite sex. Could it be that he's depressed and can't find the way to let you know? It is a possibility.
I don't know what to say...Just pray. God knows far better than I. Hope I haven't hurt you with anyting I've said here. If so, I humbly appologise.

Re:
I know you're right TAPS. I'm trying to change my attitude but it's so hard when I feel like I get smacked down every time. I just need to pray harder I guess.

All I know for sure is that you cannot change anyone else no matter how hard you try. You can only make changes in yourself, in your own attitude, in your own way of doing things. It may or may not help him to get going in the right direction too. If it does--good. If it doesn't--at least you have helped yourself.

both. I am sorry about the financial debt and I do know that money worries can really destroy a fragile relationshhip. is there anyone that just you can ask for a short term loan from that you can pay back. Just to keep the house?

I am not sure what can be done. Here's hoping for the best.
