Sorry things are bad.

Do you manage to talk to your wife about how you are feeling.

Its natural to feel that you will driver her away - that's the depression speaking and if you are managing to keep communications going unlikely to be any more than that.

Do you have any way of showing how much you appreciate her, eg buying her some flowers.
