Husband Depressed, Help!?

My husband and I have been married since July 7,2007, on July 11th, 2007 my in-law said they were getting a divorce. It has taken a toll on him, as his parents were married for 25 years. We have had a lot of changes since we were married, we moved off to college only to have to move back because of finances(so we moved in with his dad, and now with my parents). He’s a very optimistic person, but lately has been depressed, giving up his church and taekwondo(that he’s done for 5 years). I don’t know what to do, I try to be there for him and we do things together, go out and such, both of us work, he works days(Monday thru Saturday), and I work nights(15 hours, Thursday-Saturday). I would just want some advice to how I can help my husband especially this holiday season. Thanks!
Also, a classmate of his in H.S, died this year in combat. When we came back from “college”, 3 people we knew died unexpectedly in a week and a half and last year a classmate of mine really close died(don’t think mine has anything to do with it). That’s it.
By the way we’re both very devout Christians, and he’s going to my dad’s church(he’s a pastor), sorry if I alluded that he gave up his faith, he didn’t do that. Thanks for the answers i have so far. Prayer is all i can do i think but I just wonder if there’s something outside of that I can do, I hate seeing him this way!

What is it like to live on Oahu? Thinking of relocating from the east coast!?

My husband has a good job offer in Honolulu. We have been to Oahu, Maui, and Kaui on vacations many times and absolutely loved it. But I am wondering how I would like to live there. Where on Oahu should we look for housing. We are vegetarians, and practice yoga.
Thanks so much!

Is it okay to do 25 min of cardio every day?

I started doing intense cardio…and my husband says to see results you have to do it every day. Is it okay to do 25min of cardio 5 times a week? What kind of results should I see? (I have never done cardio and I usually do yoga or pilates)

Thanks :)
p.s. It’s cardio kickboxing….not sure if this makes a difference

Help on kids?

First I don’t want to imply my ex husband is a bad father he isn’t. He cares deeply about his kids, pays his support, sees them when he is suppose to and extra when his schedule at work allows. He adopted my oldest daughter after we were married as her father had been killed before she was born. The problem is he is saying the kids are over doing it with their activities and wants me to cut some of them out. I admit we do a lot of running. The oldest is a freshman and has all kinds of clubs she is in, plays in the regular band plus jazz band, is a proud girl scout, does karate and plays volleyball softball and is a cheerleader. The younger two do scouts, soccer, dance lessons, karate. All three of the kids are in 4-H and participate in the rodeo’s, they all have horses and are great riders. They are all A students with lots of friends. They asked to join all of this so I let them. Is he right or as long as they are ok at school is it good for them. I pay for it not him.
actually with as bad as it sounds we do spend a lot of time together. Very seldom do we end up with more than a couple of hours a day for their activities so even after homework we still have our family time and the horses we all do together as it is a hobby we have in common. I am my son’s cub scout leader and daughters girl scout leader so I am involved in all of that with them. We have a sit down meal every night no matter what, I help them with their homework or whatever and can tell you the names of all friends, faqvorite color, toy, movie, book anything thats asked. I just don’t want them to feel punished if make them stop something they enjoy.

Should I leave my husband for my ex-boyfriend? I have a van to live in and can stay with my ex-boyfriend?

My last boyfriend from eight years ago has invited me to go on a business trip. He started sending me champagne and roses. Red ones, which I love. My husband is a boring workaholic who limps around on a broken ankle and is obsessed with yoga and Buddhism. I want to focus on painting and karate and my boyfriend told me I could keep my waitress job and live in his house if I wanted to. He got divorced and got a good lawyer and managed to keep most of his money. He has no kids. The problem is I have a son. We have tried marriage counselling. I have my own money from a trust fund. I would really like to keep my job and live in a nice house. He would be good for my son. I want to put him into private school and my husband disagrees. I am willing to share custody with AK and not ask for alimony, just child support. I want to leave him a note before I go this weekend. I have been packing up my painting supplies and designer clothes. My parents do not want me to move back in.
