If I am truthful with myself about it, I think are main issues are pretty typical but they are exacerbated by DHs anxiety and depression and the effects that that has had on our ability to connect to each other.

That's a lot how I feel like my life is too. Small things that should be a normal struggle end up being BIG things which makes it so much harder and for me, frustrating!
Does your H take meds or anything for anxiety/depression? (You totally don't have to answer!)
I wish my H would go to the doctor for his moods and....issues but pigs would be flying then.
He does. He has taken 3 different meds since he initially saw our family doctor about 18 months ago. The one he is on now seems to be making a big difference in his overall mood and is controlling the anxiety specifically, although the doctor we saw tonight questioned his dosage (he thinks it's too low and may be more helpful with some of the key things DH struggles with if it were higher).
We're definitely a work in progress but at least we are both putting forth an effort.
I'm so sorry your DH is so reluctant. I am sure he would find speaking to someone/taking meds helpful, if not immediately, certainly in the longer term. Hopefully you can convince him one of these days, if not for himself then for you and C. You deserve happiness and an equal partner in your marriage. Big hugs mama. And if you ever need to chat, I'm here.
