depression

So I've been one of those creepy lurkers that read ... everything, and never post. Decided to come out of the darkness and make my presence known. I'm a 45 year old male, married for 20 years to a female 41, I have two DDs (21, and 16) So, you are wondering what brought me to this fine...

My life has thrown me against the wall more than once. I want to heal but I find it so hard. After my marriage I am unable to move forward, unable to love someone who is available and when they get attached I find any and all reasons to leave. To make matter worse I was taken advantage of about...

My

My husband of 6 years decided he was no longer happy with me and wants a divorce. We have a 2 year old and 4 year old girls together. I begged him to reconsider and try counseling but he said so cold heartedly he doesn't want the marriage any more. No infidelity on either part that I know of...

I have been married for 5 months and this has led me to so much depressed feelings. I don't know where to begin, and before you all tell me to see a therapist, let me tell you, it's in the works. So I was dating someone before my now-husband who my parents did not approve of. Let me tell you I...

Hi folks, it's been a long time since I've posted. My full story is very long (you can probably see my old posts under my profile if you'd really like to) so I will try my best to keep this short. Essentially, for the entirety of my wife and I's married lives, we've lived in a mostly sexless...

Hi to everyone, I've been on this helpful site for a long time. I'm back again, still having trouble. I'm sure most of you will remember me, Granny7. I wish I could say things were better, but they aren't. We've moved to another state, N. Carolina, from our home of 47 yrs. in Fl. to the...

Hi To Everyone who doesn't want to be here, I was a member many years ago and now have come back again. My husband had an affair during our 25 years of marriage, right before our 25th. Anniversary. I found out because the other women's husband mailed me a copy of the love letter/cards that he...

...been married for 17+ years. Knew my wife for 18+ years. She has been depressed for 15+ years. I initially wrote a long post about it, but I can't seem to post anywhere else on the site. I also tried to post an introduction before, but I didn't see it pop up so hopefully this is not a...

First of all, this is coming from a place of hurt. My hurt, and I'm still trying to process it and my thoughts and feelings. I've been with my spouse for over 20 years. We've had our good times and bad, but through it all, we had each other. We were best friends and in sync with each other and...

I titled this Lesbian Marriage so that you all know what you're getting into by reading this. Please don't come at me with "you're going to hell" or this or that. Just move along. If you are reading this to help, I thank you. I will try to keep it short. My name is B (22). Her name is S (28)...

Hello everyone. I've read a few posts here and have gained much knowledge from other people's situations so I'd like to thank everyone for sharing beforehand. My home situation is pretty good compared to most people but I'd like to get perspectives from others so I don't think about wanting to...

I don't seem to enjoy mu husband's company anymore and I don't really think he cares. - We can't hold a conversation without him making jokes about everything. Everything. I do have a sense of humor but sometimes I'd like to be able to talk about important subjects without him dodging it by...

Hi New here

First of all I'm sorry for posting to the women's section, but I'm tired of reading posts suggesting you put recorders in your wife's car and read her text messages to find out the truth. Also I want to apologize for the length of the this post.. My situation isn't pretty, my wife and I...

My wife and I have been together for 15 years and have 6 children together. About 4 years ago I left my job as a state social worker, making great progress in the field of advancement, to become a sty at home dad while she worked as a nurse. Everything was fine for quite so time but probably...

Sorry for the long post. My husband and I have been married for 12 years this past February. This has been my only real relationship, as we got married the day I turned 21. I used to have lots of jealousy and anger issues, but with his help and support, have gotten pretty much over them. I...

My wife is the best thing thats ever happened to me. And we are getting a divorce. It's the single greatest pain I've ever gone through. You know how they say when a member of a long married couple passes away, the other often goes within 6 months? I completely understand why. I feel physically...

K thanks bye

OK, I've been married for almost 5 years and I do love my wife. I was the happiest I had ever been when I married my wife, the wedding day was genuinely the happiest day of our lives. However, shortly after marriage (about 6 months in) I found my feelings start to change. It was like a switch...
