"Have you always felt like this, or is it due to the loss of OW? Is the depression over that situation causing it to be worse?" I have always felt that way, and the depression is just making it worse. The night of the breakup I felt more alone than I had since the first night of college.
"But if you need to be around people right now, then do it. If you need counseling right now, call someone. Same with short-term meds. Or working out tirelessly. Or whatever!" I am trying to surround myself with friends. The W and I spent too much time with just her family and neglected the whole hanging out with other couples thing. I have been working out a lot more, and it does help. But I feel this obligation to be home more now. I have been vacillating between meds and no-meds for awhile. Psychiatrists appointment is in 3 weeks also.
"I agree with you about pushing past it. It will be hard but it will be no more or less hard than your wife pushing past her own I am a Rock comfort zone, kwim?" Good point.
"Hopefully you will both grow and learn how to be good spouses to each other." Thanks. You know I wonder if we ever were good spouses to each other prior to this.
