Last April, I tried to commit suicide. Ended up in a psych hospital for a week. My husband and I were NOT getting along. He was quite mean and not understanding about everything.

About two weeks later in the middle of yet another fight, he casually looked over and said "So you gonn slam down another handful of pills"

We started couples therapy the next day. I told him we had to or he was out the door. Our relationship is 1000% better. He is kinder and so am I.

I don't mean to go on and on, but it is the only way I have to say that it can get better. Your boyfriend had to want it to, as do you. I'd give it a try. The worst that can happen is you might realize it's over; the best, it can get so much better!
