can people blame others for their depression?

my husband recently left me and our children because he said he was so un happy because of me and my behaviour. he told me how basically anything i did upset or annoyed him and in the end said my behaviour was controlling and manipulative. as this was the complete opposite of how he used to be- i didn't realise he might not be well and so kept asking him to spend time with me as i was lonely. he had a bath every night and then sat on his own downstairs, he didnt want to go out or see friends, just went to work and then said he was exhausted and couldn't deal with anything else but it was all down to me.

since he has moved out he still stays on his own in his house and now has longer baths but doesn't want to see friends etc.

could he be depressed or have some other mental health issue?

    yes he could absolutely be depressed. Especially leaving his whole family. It could greatly affect your children which is really sad.

    did the two of you ever get some counseling? That could’ve been helpful . be a good idea for you to get counseling on your own so that you could get some support for this. it’s hard for anybody to really know what’s going on unless they know the whole story behind this. That’s why I suggest counseling. I hope everything works out.
