I've become familiar with the phrase "unicorn hunting" but only recently and too late… this been rattling around in my mind for too long… this was a few years ago and is still plaguing me. WHY a bonafide couple would pretend she was just a roommate at the beginning. Then move me into their 3 bedroom home & get my hopes up just to crush them? At that time I was only interested in monogamy. Ultimately, he and I shared a room. She was in another - the master bedroom. Not only did they push to "help" me by moving me in, they were eager for me to get pregnant "…we've got a spare room

I'm mostly looking for advice at this moment on how to foster and encourage my significant other's (soon to be married) interests. She seems to want to share a lot of things with me, such as things about other people and all; however, when it comes to her interests, she tells me about them but doesn't include me in them. I know she tries but she also gives up if she even perceives that I'm not interested. Often times it isn't a lack of interest but rather that I may be having a bad day or an having difficulties with things and processing. (I have Cerebral Palsy and multiple mental health diagn -
My husband and I have been married for many years. Over the years, he has gotten upset at me for various reasons, many justified and others....our level of arguing increased about 8 years ago. I do not do well with conflict. I grew up on a family where you said sorry and moved on. I avoid conflict and lie at times to avoid it. Many times, He will recognize my anxiety and call me out. Instead of stating the tough facts and bringing uneasy feelings and thoughts to light, I will provide half truths hoping he will let it go. Pretty much, anytime this happens, he know it and is upset with me

I’ve been married 3 years. My husband is kind/loving, good person however, our relationship has really taken a nosedive (about 6 months in). We are opposites (which initially was novel and interesting). Now I find him irritating, boring & cold. He is a workaholic, which seems to be his main priority. We pretty much stopped having sex (mainly bc I have no interest or attraction anymore - also no interest in anyone else either). I always feel depressed, irritable and resentful around him (I’m a pain to be with). He works all of the time and we do not share similar interests. I’ve l -
My husband and I are both bipolar. He's about to turn 50 and has been having major issues on both ends of the spectrum. He's currently taking lithium, lexapro, and propranolol. The lithium has given him tremors to the point that typing is painful. His pdoc recently prescribed 1mg of Risperdone to help with anger and rage issues he's been experiencing. Three days into it, he was too agitated to focus, and his anger was worse than ever. We spent a day with our son where he was moody and snappish, had a road rage incident over a parking spot in a lot with plenty of other empty spaces, and was jus

A few days ago, my husband left and called my family to come get me. I was sick out of work for a week. Husband stayed home with me that last day and then disapeared while I was napping. The next thing I knew was that my family gathered me up, brought me to another city where they live, told me to quit my job, and give notice on my rental house. I'm giving away almost all my possessions as I don't know when I will be able to live on my own again. I now have no job, no husband, no money, and no freedom. I am giving my mom power of attorney since I can't manage anything right now. I hate

Hi there, I'm new to this, so I apologize if I'm posting in the wrong place, rambles, etc. I have a new dx from my counselor, one that no one has ever mentioned to me, C-PTSD. I am waiting for a pdoc and have an appointment that was scheduled 3 months out...so, I'm pretty much treading water here. C-PTSD makes sense, I've had all forms of trauma that I know of. Believe it or not, I just realized a couple weeks ago that an 11 year old, cannot consent to sex (so add sex abuse to my list of childhood traumas). But, I believed it was my anxiety & depression that held me down. I -
Im fairly new here. I've posted once but been a lurker for a couple months. I feel like I want out of my marriage. Maybe not necessarily a divorce, just out. Is it the depression causing the feelings or is it causing the depression. How do you figure it out? A little back history. We have been together 12yrs, married 5 next month. I've had a wonderful 8 yr remission for it to come creeping back in about 2 yrs ago when I became pregnant with our second child. Not because I was pregnant, she was planned but thats just when it started to creep back. I had been ignoring it for most of that -
Hey all. How are you guys doing? I just wanted to throw this out there. And this isnt the first time this has happened to me i just wanted to throw this one out there. I am happily married. I have a wonderful relationship with someone whom I feel is the most beautiful woman and the world. I wanted to let that be known before I ask the question. Sometimes i have bad negative thoughts that come with my depression. I am on medication, so its controlled,but sometimes we have bad days. Any way, I had a string of bad thoughts that had come from stressing about different things in my life, and then i -
So I have been with my husband for almost 7 years. Married for 4. And we have a beautiful, happy almost two year old. Our relationship has always been good. But lately... I feel like it might be the beginning of the end. Backstory, I've always had issues with depression but when I had my daughter, I had PPD BAD. Like I feel as if I've never came out of it even though obviously it's made it's way into other issues by now, two years later. He's always been my best friend. The one who makes me laugh. But lately I can't stand to hear him talk. I resent him. I don't want to feel this way -
I'm new. I’m reaching out for support here because I don’t know where else to go. I’ve distanced myself from everyone other than my husband and counselor out of shame. I pray and I go to counseling, but it just isn’t enough. I need help. Please be kind. I know I’ve done the unforgivable, but I’m having a hard time just making it through the day without killing myself anymore. My husband is considering divorce and he has very valid reasons. He moved out and many states away to live with his parents (he is 25) and asked me to move to the same area and get an apartment. I have. I’m currently j -
I have finally been diagnosed with bipolar 2. I believe that I have been bipolar for YEARS but after my second child 2 years ago it feels like a switch was flipped and I just lost it. I have screamed at my kids for nothing and my husband has the scars to prove our fights. I feel like when I was raging I lost all control on him and barely even remember what I did. For some reason he has stayed. Now that I finally got a diagnosis, he's ready to leave. I don't think he realizes how serious this is. I am trying to fix things but he can't get over years of abuse. I'm trying to better myself for mys

I don't know if any of you remember that my husband and I have been struggling to get or insurance cobra-ed. Two weeks ago tomorrow, they told DH that his check was there, and would be processed by the next day. The next day, nada, and it was a Friday, so we had to wait until Monday to call again. They said it would be ready Tuesday; nothing again and again, nothing. Then *this* Monday we called again. They called back Tuesday. So we switched from COBRA (which was Anthem BC/BS) to E*trade's Aetna when DH got hired. In theory, the COBRA ended 8/31, and or old insurance ended the same day.
