I'm afraid my marriage is doomed?

Years ago I did some awful things that I can never tell my husband. It would most definitely destroy our family. The problem is, the guilt I feel is so overwhelming that I feel like crying nonstop. He knows I'm depressed but not the reason why. I am seeing a psych and counselor but the meds haven't worked yet. It's been almost a year that I've been dealing with this. I am so scared that one day I will break, tell him everything and destroy our family. We have three little kids. Need advice :(

No decent therapist is going to give you meds for guilt! Find a better counselor, that's nuts. Shop for a better therapist dear and get to the root of the matter. Get okay with you so you don't have to drug yourself into amnesia. A healed wound doesn't require constant attention.

Did you ask the Lord for forgiveness and have you over the years been faithful? If so your forgiven. The way I see it is that you had thoughts the marriage wouldnt work then and strayed. My best friend went out on his wife once but has been faithful ever since in the last 5 yrs. He learned his lesson and so did you.

If its eating you up so much that you have to take medications then you need to face the music of telling him. Feeling that you cant trust his love to forgive you has to be the worst part of it all, that would depress me more than guilt.

Good Luck!
