Please pray for me and my husband. We are both hurting so much individually but we are so divided we are unable to find solace and comfort from one another. Our current status is like 2 ships passing in the night, it’s so lonesome. He is a lapsed Catholic and I find myself struggling to tread water so to speak in my own faith. I have never had a strong faith background, but it grows weaker all the time under the strain in our home.

I know for a fact that he is depressed, he has said so in the past and I recognize his current behavior as a manifestation of that. However, he won’t talk to me about it and for years now he has done absolutely nothing about it. I know there are so many things he wants to do differently, but he lacks the strength and courage to do it. He has failed so many times at the expense of our family that I find it very difficult to be supportive.

He continues to struggle to find his niche in life but he is just totally unmotivated. I just feel suffocated with his constant stone-walling. He is addicted to online gaming and wastes absolutely ungodly amounts of time there and in front of the t.v. He has absolutely no initiative whatsoever. I don’t help the situation at all constantly on him with my frustration.

Everything just feels like we’re going through the motions. We never, and I mean never spend family time together. Even on the weekends he will not sit down to a single meal with me and our young children. If I ever want to take the kids on an outing, it is me by myself. The minute I walk in the door, he’s off to bed or to get on the computer. I can hardly stand it, but it seems like things are just at a standstill. I find it very hard to be around other people b/c I feel so alone and I don’t want anyone to notice me. I actually feel almost like a widow. If you didn’t know me, you probably would think I was a single mother. LORD HAVE MERCY!
 
God please help this family come together and solve their problems. Please bring them peace.
 
Dear Virgin Mary who was the perfect wife,

Please Give the op the strength to tell her husband that she loves him and he can talk to her about anything everyday that they’re together. May this statement day by day give the op’s husband the encouragement to talk with her.

Amen
 
Sending prayer for you, your children, your husband and your relationships.
 
I know that your problems have been going on for a long time as I remember many of your past threads. Your husband does seem like a married bachelor. He remains, but prefers a bachelor life without responsibilities, and I wonder if he was very young when you married. He knows what his responsibilities are, and you understandably in your desire for a true marriage, remind him with a load of frustrated and hurt emotion, which deepens his guilt and depression but changes nothing for the good.
And you are lonely and alone with your children; and also financially insecure.

**Loving God please accept the painful hurt and problems that both this wife and her husband daily live, and resolve them according to Your holy will and the best interests of each and the children. **
 
Lord, please bring peace, healing and reconciliation to this family. Help JLCecilia’s husband to deal with his problems the right way and to seek some help. May JLCecilia reach out to you for the strength and healing she needs through prayer and through frequent reception of the sacraments. Her family is hurting so badly; please send your Holy Spirit to them to help them. Thank you, Lord, for hearing my prayer. Amen.
 
My dear sister in Christ

I understand your pain because my marriage is also under threat. My husband is depressed too and has moved out. I do encourage you, however, not to give up. Allow this challenge to draw you more closely to Jesus. Seek solace in His embrace and offer up your suffering to Him for your husband’s salvation. Easier said than done, but just do it!
After all, Jesus said, “Come to me all ye who labour…”

Oh God, come to our aid
Oh Lord, make haste to help us.

With blessings in Christ

PATER NOSTER,
qui es in caelis,
sanctificetur nomen tuum.
Adveniat regnum tuum.
Fiat voluntas tua, sicut in caelo et in terra.
Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie,
et dimitte nobis debita nostra
sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris.
Et ne nos inducas in tentationem,
sed libera nos a malo. Amen.
