Just dropped in to say how incredibly difficult it is to give up on a marriage. I remember in the first or second year of my marriage, feeling so frustrated and cornered by my wife's irrational, explosive anger. I remember after an angry outburst from her, going out to our backyard in the dark, under-dressed and feeling cold, looking up at the night sky and feeling so lonely, wondering, who did I marry, should I leave. But I couldn't, because she was already pregnant with our child. Things got a little better after the pregnancy and we even had some good times yet ... here I am in this forum.

A person's basic character doesn't change. Mental health issues take years to improve, if at all. Look at your husband with your eyes wide open. 34 isn't that old. You are still young.

I hope this helps you.
