Husband Problems
I’m at a loss of what to do anymore to keep my marriage going. I’ve been married since September of 2025 and since our wedding things haven’t been the best…we’ve had bad fights where he has threatened to kill himself (not long after the second time he did it he was sent to a facility because of how he answered a question on a questionnaire thing his therapist gave him). He blames me for supposedly being the one to start the fights and being too emotional during them. We were doing good for a while until recently while looking for a place off base for us to live together (he’s in the military) I brought up having to find a place that will accept pets as I have a dog who will go into depression if I leave him behind at my moms. He doesn’t like dogs but knew I had some before we ever even got together. He’s telling me now that the dog will be my responsibility and only mine which is fine but with being close to my due date I told him I would need help after until I get healed up and he refuses. He’s also expecting me to make sacrifices for him (my dogs, my job) but yet I’ve never asked him to make any sacrifices for me nor would I ever not that he would anyway even if I did. I just don’t know what to do and I’ve honestly thought about divorce multiple times but feel like I’m stuck because I don’t want our son to be born into a broken home like I was. Any advice?

I could have written this. My husband has a lot of the same things happening and has MMD. He recently started a medication that has really helped. Would your husband be open to that? Mine has a lot of ups and downs, and it's so hard to handle emotionally. I feel for you
Maybe a change in meds would help. My husband has never had to go to a facility or anything, but I have had to call the help line bc I also take the threats very seriously. I have never struggled myself, So I have a hard time understanding. I hope my husband truly improves, and yours too.
