Trust me. I am on that page. During her pregnancy, there were many times where she was an emotional wreck. I made the mistake a few times of telling my wife that she was going to be okay. It was completely natural for her to feel this way with her bodies hormone balances going nuts.

I always knew to never, ever blame or bring up the words PMS to my wife. I still have never done that. Although, the reaction I received about the pregnancy hormones was just as bad. She even mentioned it to the OW in her emails.

I honestly believed the post postpartum was real. So did her mother. So did her doctor. That is why when my wife told me in tears that she did not love me a week after our baby was born, I took it in stride. Even her doctor told her nor to make in drastic decisions at the time.

I have no idea how hormones effect any of this. My wife seems to believe that none of it is. I also know my wife to be very hormonal anyway. I have always been accepting of that. I guess that is why I accepted what was to come with pregnancy and child birth. It told me to expect it in every book I read and every doctor I spoke with.

Maybe those hormones are still there. Who knows. W told me her mother is blaming everything on her hormones right now and wants her to get blood work done and change one of her medications. Our couples therapist actually disagreed with that in front of my W.

I will take something from the thought. It just gives me one more reason to remain patient with her and be compassionate and provide support. Who knows where she is right now?
