How about saying something like, 'well it's really getting me down and I don't know what to do about it, but I know i can't carry on like this. Do you have any suggestions?' Ask him direct short questions, men tend to respond better to them. Problem is if he feels like he's being backed into a corner, it could make it worse.
He has to admit there's a problem before you can find a solution.
I do feel for you though x x
Otrere - you are not alone, it is a more common problem than you think. It doesn't have to be another women. It maybe (I say maybe) depression. And sometimes the reason for depression is not obvious. If you don't mind me asking is he (your husband) from a broken home, or does he have a svengali parent who emotionally controls him? Has he achieved what he wants to with his life?Does he have siblings who have achieved more than he has? -You don't need to answer these questions just things to consider.
Men are complex. They don't say what's on their minds, unlike women. Its difficult to give a constructive answer. Men also don't like showing weakness so the suggestion of going to Relate is a non starter.
All I can say is that I feel for you and wish you the best.
