I am married for 12 years. She has clinical Depression for past 3yrs, and it is not very serious but it does affect often our sex life. She is on meds which keep her in everyday life, but there is no cure. It became very hard for me to maintain relationship with a depressed partner. Should I stay with her or start looking for other women?

I know how difficult it can be I am too in relationship with depressed partner. But I can't leave himâ€¦ it is not as easy as it sounds, I do suffer too. Marriage is difficult and without illness, but walking out on it will not make if easier for anyone. Maybe for you in the short term with your new partner things will be great, however like any relationship, you will encounter difficult times.
