I am living with a spouse with whom my relationship has at an all time low. I can see he doesn't like me (if I am being honest, his reasons are fair).
I am a generally "sad" person and apart from our 5 year old son, I don't have any joy in my life. I spend a lot of time with my son and we both love him to bits and show him that everyday.
I am starting my therapy, but no hope it will actually work. Is it even possible to find a way forward? Leaving the marriage at this point is not an option.
