Help: What to Do With Depressed Wife? Posted: 05-31-05 21:38pm
Hello, i've been married with my wife for
9 months now and the situation's growing
worse. She was just fine and happy up to
the minute when we came back from our
honeymoon. She's drown in depression not
wanting to do anything. She never went
back to her part time job (she another
part time job though), she gets up
everyday at 2pm, not interest on anything
whatsoever, she doesnt want to have any
intimacy with me, yes no sex since we came
back from our honeymoon 9 months ago. She
barely makes enough money to pay her bills
and stressed because of money, her job
pays really bad and she works 20 hrs/week
and wont look for a better job even when
she's had tons of chances. We've been to
counseling and she's made compromises in
the past but she's failed to every single
of them, all she says to me is to leave
her alone that's her bussiness. On my
point of view I think she doesnt want to
deal with marriage and life in general and
responsabilities, she acts like if she
were living with her dad. I'm still
trying to figure out what to do to help
her, so far i've tried all I can, even
when i'm keeping my real feelings about
the situation, I just try to be the best
for her and support her no matter what,
but there's so much a human being can
take. I love her with all my heart but it
breaks my heart she's leaving her marriage
sink down the drain.
Any ideas of how to deal with a situation
like this?
Thanks

Sometimes women have post-honeymoon
depression. Dealing with the real world
and realizing that being married isn't all
romance and sunshine. Maybe that's what
it is.

Has she seen a psychologist or
psychiatrist or just a counselor?
It sounds like she needs better help. When
people are depressed, they aren't
motivated to do anything. It sounds like
that is her problem.
Depression can be treated, you can just
expect her to get over it.
