My wife and I have been "separated" for the past nearly 3 months and I really need some support on this one.
When I say "separated", I mean that we still live under the same roof and we still actually sleep together and still have sex together. The only major difference is that I am now our...
@Barconian, no. I went back to work. I stayed out 3 months and made it to our company's goal and left a bit earlier while the rest of the people I work with stay out of country. I will be working remotely from here until they get back.
I just got back on the 1st and we have been figuring things...
Hey all,
Thanks a ton for all of the support and helpful words. We have made a decision together. We have decided to separate. I have made it very clear that this is not really what I want at all but I am going to be supportive and will be right here no matter what. Talks about divorce have not...
Hi all,
I just got off the phone with my wife and I have to talk to someone about this. My wife of 4 years and partner of 8 years has PTSD and has been struggling with it along with depression and anxiety. I've posted a few times on this forum about difficult times that I have been through...
Thanks guys. I am not currently seeing a therapist and really have a hard time justifying it when I feel that that money could be put towards helping my wife. Maybe I am seeing it from the wrong perspective, but that is what I see.
I'm so unsure what to do, what I can do, and what really needs to be done. Things were bad before, they were really bad. I could feel that at any moment my wife would disappear - for good. Then we moved, things got better, she seemed happier, and we took on more endeavours. Bad idea.
Things...
Thanks for the encouraging words. Unfortunately, last night turned to make the rest of the good day not so good. I hope things go well today as well.
Hospitals are not so good to my wife as well (hence the reluctance to admit her). It's not quite a trigger for her, but she has had lots of bad...
I don't want to feel like this either. And I don't.
All of this is especially hard because it has been just the two of us (now the three of us) for the past 7 years. Although, now apparent, necessary, it has been hard to justify help for myself. But as I continue to go on, I realize more and...
Though blunt, I know that this is true. It hurts both ways... obvious much more toward the latter.
Unfortunately, here in Canada, general practitioners are in very high demand and very hard to come by - so, no, we do not have a good doctor to receive a referral from.
Thanks for the support...
Thanks for all the support everyone. I haven't had a chance to sit down and actually come back here until now. It's really good to get some perspective and hear what everyone has to say, especially now knowing that this is out of the norm.
I've head over to the supporters section as to not...
Hi everyone,
This is my second post here. My first post (33980) was my introduction and cry out for help. As a synopsis, my wife was on the verge of something bad just over a week ago and I didn't know what to do. She was on the edge of ending it all but I wasn't about to let her. We have a 2...
Hi all,
I've saw this forum a while ago and was hoping that I wouldn't feel the need to come here for help... but I do. My wife was diagnosed with PTSD back when she was 12 - long before we started dating, but not long before we became friends. At this point, we are married and I have a 2 year...
