She has been diagnosed with severe depression but refuses to seek treatment, and has told me she has no feeling except anger I feel that she is walking all over me with no respect whatsover. She wants me to fund her single fancy free lifestyle, and says that I owe it to her. She knows what buttons to push and is very good at making me feel guilty.
They are all diagnosed with severe depression, yet they refuse treatment and don't mind having the time of their life at someone else's expense. I wouldn't call that severe depression, I call that wanting to be a kid with no responsibilities anymore, heck their behavior is closer to Bi-Polar or even Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) than anything else and I personally don't believe MLC either but that's just me.
Watch for signs like this:- live a guilt free life while trying to displace that guilt on others - crazy mood swings: happy, sad, angry, anxiety attacks and then wash, rinse and repeat - etc. etc. etc.
My "LBS" because I left him he calls ME the WAW; whatever; but he displays NPD and refuses to take any responsibility for himself; will not counsel though he doesn't appear to be "living a second childhood" as your wife is doing...
It is hard and CRAZYmaking to try to understand WHY they do what they do; they are pulling at straws to "get their way"...We need to set boundaries and say "NO". They can do theier thing on their money and time and stop wasting ours while they are "finding themselves" and neglecting your children and you. You deserve better and "putting your foot down" is needed...good luck Rob.
