my husband has just been diagoised with extreme depression and now he is not the type that is sad all the time or even depressed. It is more of a confused state of mind that causes him to do things he know is wrong. He has cheated on me 4 time in our 10 year marriage. My question is does anyone else see infidelity as part of a depressive state or does the depression just an excuse for the bad behavior? Has anyone over come thess addictive behavoirs after meds and with therapy? I want to have hope that he can change but am relucant. Anyone have any input?

I believe anyone can change if they really want too, so if your husband really wants too, then it is possible. But from personal experience dealing with alot of other people I think some people use depression and bipolar as a crutch, they get more, and get a way with more. This is not everyone oof course, I have depression problems, but I have never done anything which I know is wrong, because I was confused. We all have a choice, no matter what our diagnosis.

Thanks for your response, I think I am in a loss, loss situation, He says he want to get help and change,and has since gone on meds for extreme Depression and is seeking counceling, and says he wants his family back, but has not not changes his ways we are seperated for the last 3 months and I just asked him if he was still seeing her and he said yes, Want I gather is happing from past experience is that he doesnt want to end things until he is sure I will take him back, And I cant do that with out him changing so I guess I'll just have to keep moving forward with out him and maybe the therapy will help him see his very troubled ways. I just so sick of making excuses for him, he is 37 years old with 5 children and his is less of a man today then the day I meet him 14 years ago. go figure. Well thanks again for your thoughts this site has really help me clear my head at times I didnt think possible.

Clair, you are absolutely correct; let him know you are serious about what you say and he will respect you, but if you start to be wishy washy in your decisions; then you might not be taken seriouly and might regret it later.
