I have been where you are today. I spent a the better part of a year on Lexapro. I went to my doctor, he gave me a simple questionnaire and I answered it. The lexapro was great, it kept me level and I was able to get off of it rather easily. Today I function very well for a crazy guy.

Look dude, I know it is hard to see the forrest for the trees right now, but you have to pull yourself up by the bootstraps and focus on the man you want to be with her. Now more than ever she needs to see that you are above the pettiness. That you are the source of stability right now in her mixed up crazy world.

It's not fair, you didn't ask for it, and you don't like it. That my friend is part of marriage. Go back and read the poem "Footsteps in the sand" YOU.....HAVE TO CARRY THE LOVE IN YOUR MARRIAGE RIGHT NOW. She is simply incapable.

Hang in there Mike, all of this is going to, in the long run, make you a much stronger man.

Ian, I'm actually functioning oK. just have short "Bursts" of anger that only last for a few moments. Usually when I relive something in my head that was said or when look was given or snide remark made.

My doctor told me last time I talked to him to just call if I felt I needed something. I don't know if I need it or not. I mean I'm not down or depressed. I feel good physically. I just have these short angry "bursts"

I know it should be water off a duck's back and I know I deserve a 2x4 but if you have been there then you know that it's easier said than done.

I don't know that there's anything left to tote. I'm trying to figure that out at the moment.
