    Plus it would come on our phone bill and my husband would see.

    You've not got your own mobile?

    The Samaritans have drop-in centres but it depends on where you live. They also have a free post service.

    I have seen the gp numerous times and beenput on vvarious pills- none if which worked.

    Have you been honest with the GP that it's your relationship that is making you depressed? He/she could refer you for counseling rather than dish out more tablets.

    If I call the samaritans is it free? I wouldn't know where to start. Plus it would come on our phone bill and my husband would see. No I cant.

    I have found a free phone number for the Samaritans.

    116123

    I have just phoned them and was told that this number does not show up on telephone bills.

    Ring them now PLEASE.

    How is that advice any worse than if she gives him a BJ, it will rejuvenate their relationship?

    Im sorry you feel that you need to be so crude.

    Seduction can take many forms. Its what the couple enjoys doing. Perhaps they used to do a regular pub quiz. Or attend a regular sporting event. Perhaps the cinema used to be a treat.

    I'm talking about rekindling feeling and emotions, not a bit of rough whilst the kids watch tv downstairs.

    does your husband socialise? see friends?

    Is it possible that he just feels like a slave to work? (rightly or wrongly)

    Yes my husband does socialise. He also does football coaching on a Thursday night and currently is doing a course at uni at weekends.
    My family moved away years ago and actually im not really sure why ive never established any friendships. No opportunity to? Maybe because im a loser.

    I appreciate that you have just come out of a relationship and will be feeling raw and hurt - but this post is not about you, is it?

    I'm sorry that you feel rejected and hope that it won't be long before you can put your life back together again. Look at this thread again - it may give you pointers as to where your relationship went wrong.

    I appreciate that just because i havent posted an update doesnt mean that you have a view of my life.

    A number of months have passed and slowly we are, together, getting our relationship back on track.

    She says she's tried everything to get the spark back already though, and if money really is so tight how can they afford a cinema trip etc? From what OP has said I'd imagine even suggesting the idea could cause conflict over who should pay.

    Equally it could actually make them both happy.

    The husband could be equally depressed at working FT and never doing anything 'fun' together.

    You might be right. I don't know. But I know if I'm working for weeks and months with no relaxation, I'd get frustrated too
