Omg I totally get why she wanna keep the distance from him but like, two different rules for their marriage? That's just unfair especially when his ex-friend comes into play lol. I feel bad for her hubby too, it must be really tough to deal with this situation. And omg a major depression diagnosis? that's some heavy stuff. Honestly, I think the hubby needs to take care of himself and figure out what he wants from their marriage. If she's still got feelings for someone else, maybe they both need to reevaluate
I feel so bad for the poor guy who's stuck in this toxic situation. His wife is basically playing him like a fool, using guilt and manipulation to control him. Newsflash: having rules for his past love life but not applying them to hers? That's just messed up . And let's be real, if she's too scared to go to therapy because of depression, that's a major red flag. You can't fix the issue by ignoring it, sweetheart!
