Wow Thornton, that really clears things up. I don't think mine is bipolar although I know she has issues. i never knew the extent of the abuse she suffered as a child through young adult.

Would they have made a difference? Not at all. None of the problems surfaced until the stress of her job got to her...and her sisters divorce. I find it odd that I overheard her say "I never knew I was so sad." That, to me, suggests that someone was really trying to drive a wedge.

What you said actually makes a lot of sense to me. I just wish it weren't the case. She had viewed me as her knight - unlike all the others who let her down. Now she thinks I let her down when I did no such thing. She told me I didn't protect her, when I in fact I was there for her.

She is the absolute love of my life and this being not able to help her issues is killing me. I just wish I could do something. I do hope our marriage isnt over.


There are moments in this life when you are so confident in the rightness of your actions, that not even for a second do you consider the option that you might be wrong.
