Q: Overnight my husband asked me for a divorce and told me to get out. As far as I knew we had no problems. We have been married for 5.5 years and been together for 7.5 years. It has been ten weeks and to this day we have not discussed anything. A small discussion took place the night he informed me of this. I love this man with all my heart. Now in the meantime I have found out that he was cheating on me and drinking heavily. He is a closet drinker and nobody knew it until all this happened. What do I do now? I have faith in God, but there are times I feel I am in depression. I have not been able to take care of the business the way I should. Please help.

A:One can understand the distress you are experiencing, as this sudden transition is something that would have distressed almost all people. I would suggest that you should spend time with your family, and take support, at the same time try and open some communication channel with your husband and try talking with him about this. Consider taking professional help from a psychiatrist, to resolve the matters and for your personal stress.
