Hi, I've been married for 36 years, I absolutely worship my wife. 3 years ago we allowed a other man I to our lives. We had a relationship that I found it exciting to watch my wife pleasured etc. Well at first it was all fun. After a while I noticed my wife changing. She started getting frustrated and shirt with me. I was too stupid to realise she had fallen in love with this other man. One day we were driving up north and she told me a big list of things I did wrong. I still didnt get it. Once we arrived we had an argument and she told me she wssnt in love with me any more but was in love with this other man. I begged her to stay with me and she did. She told me she would try in our marriage but refused to give him up. In short over the next few years she told me another 4 times she was in love with him. She also told me a number of times she would choose him over me if I made her choose. These days she tells me she loves me and isbt in love with him and it's just friendship. She cant understand why I cant just forgive and move on. Ive got depression and something like ptsd. I cant live without her, but I can see shes getting to the point of bot wanting me to stay because she cant deal with my meltdowns when I get bouts of depression. I dont know what to do. I seriously wish I would just have a heart attack and die, trouble is I believe in afterlife and csnt bear the thought of going thru eternity without her love. She tells me she loves me yet Katy night said if I have one more meltdown that will be it. I'm seriously thinking of committing suicide but if i fail she will lose all her li e for me and I'll be alive without her love, if i succeed i gotta go through eternity without her. I love her so much, I'm totally in love with her , every time I hear her voice or see her I melt. I dont know what to do

Thanks so much guys, I will pass that panda thing on. My son in law tries his best , but hes extremely lazy and that's a small part of my daughters problem, my wife is down there tonight she is being lovely to me again, whatever her counsellor did really helped her with her anger issues. I just hope and pray we can keep heading in this direction. I do have a good friend to talk to but he is high up I evolved with fires and has been too busy understandably working 14 hour days. My sisters and I aren't talking due to some betrayal and lies issues, I still haven't met my new sister I didn't know I had yet, so, haven't really had anyone to talk to. But the new meds are really good- though I dont know if its them or the fact my wife is being lovely to me tbh , but at least these ones dont effect my libido. But they are very expensive as not on pbs scheme yet. Thanks guys for being here for me, it's a real help believe me tonight is my second night alone worried about a hell of a lit of things , but I'm handling it ok, I'm sure having someone to vent to has saved my life. Now I dint feel like self harming and I'm even starting to enjoy life a bit. Still nervous as a cat on a hit tin roof but a heck of a lot better than when I first started this thread.

Btw Tim, I remember that show, I always thought the priest was a girl

I'm so frustrated at myself its 20 to 1 in the morning and I have to get up at 5 to go to work and i just cant sleep, my mind is racing with worry about a gazillion things, I just wish I could take a tablet that would make me sleep immediately. I wish someone was here with me, just to be here while I get to sleep

Dear W~
My offspring watched this series until we all knew it by heart:)

I beleive Tripitaka (played by the late female actor Masako Natsume) was deliberately made to look androgynous in an effort to portray a young monk who is extremely naive, showing idealistic compassion without wisdom

Tim~
I don't think they reached India. I beleive the series ended prematurely

Waxer, Have you ever looked into sleep hygiene...

https://www.cci.health.wa.gov.au/~/media/cci/mental%20health%20professionals/sleep/sleep%20-%20infor...

One of the things I do before I go to sleep is do a puzzle. You could put a question mark whether I use my phone! Anyway, it is a way for me to clear my mind. I used to wake nearly every 2 hours each night. The other thing is that I could not sleep was to get out of bed a do something.

Well that lasted a little while at least, wifes taking all her anger out on me as usual, anyone would think I was the one who broke her heart and kept doing so for 3 years, she hates me and speaks to me like no other person in the world, she seriously attacks me like I'm an enemy. God I wish I wouldn't wake up, I cant keep doing this, I want a loving wife that doesn't only treat me nice when things are good, and stops taking her anger out on me. I cant imagine loving anyone else, so what's left, I seriously wish I'd go to sleep tonight and not wake up

Hey Waxer, It sounds like things are quite stressful at the moment. We can imagine that your wife's constant change in mood would really take a toll on you. We have sent you a private message to offer some support.

We would also like to just let you know about some support options which may be useful to you in particularly overwhelming moments.

The Suicide Call Back Service provides 24/7 telephone, online-chat and video counselling to talk through any difficult moments. You can even sign up for free video and online chat counselling on their website: https://www.suicidecallbackservice.org.au/need-to-talk/

​ Another option can be to reach out to our friends at Lifeline (13 11 14 / https://www.lifeline.org.au/Get-Help/Online-Services/crisis-chat).

If you feel unable to keep yourself from acting on your thoughts about suicide this is an emergency and you need to call 000 (triple zero).

Sometimes I wish I could build up the courage to leave. I am finding it harder and harder to imagine her going back to loving me like she used to, it's been pretty good last week or so, but doesnt take much to attack me and speak horribly to me its starting to feel like mental abuse. Trouble is I cant imagine life without her I love her so much

Managed to sleep , woke up with bad dream that my wife had left me, I cant leave her as I'm still totally in love with her, but somehow she has to stop mentally abusing me and start treating me like a decent loving husband that I know I am

Face to face support would be good. I've seen a psychologist but tbh by the time i told him everything going on time was up, nice guy, but professionals are always on a time clock. I wish I had someone I could have a coffee with and chat without them looking at the clock all the time
