Will a consent order be granted in my situation?
I reluctantly married my husband just short of two years ago. I didn't want to get married but at the time I wasn't planning on splitting up from him and being married would have helped his employment situation (complicated, but nothing unlawful), so I agreed.

My OH came home from work today absolutely miserable. He hates his job and it makes him very depressed some times. This evening he was really bad and I just felt awful for him.
