      I completely understand the position you are in. I know that either route won't be easy. My best suggestion is honestly to try couple's counseling, so maybe he can hear it from someone else.
      I wish you the best of luck! I'm here if you ever want to talk!

    Hello,
    Have you tried couples counseling? Maybe him talking to a professional would help him to understand.
    I've been in relationships where my S/O would tell me that I was being ridiculous, overdramatic, and just trying to get attention. They would claim that I could control myself, but really it was just my depression taking over. So I completely understand.
    Try to make him understand as well. If he doesn't even try to understand, then I'm sorry, but he does not deserve you. This is something you struggle with every single day and he has no place in your life if he is making it worse.
