I understand where you are coming from Pierro.
The Missus and I had quite a deep chat about it last night… she gave the analogy of not being able to put her self in my shoes or relate having not experienced it herself… which makes sense.
She’s been going online (though hadn’t told me prior to last night) trying to research depression and as such has been trying her best to make allowances… she has great difficulty with dealing my mood swings and not taking it personally. That is the bit we’re trying to work with at the moment.
I explained (reiterated) that when the irrationality hits she’s going to be dancing on egg shells if she tries to rationalise with me or bring up solutions that are her own subjective thoughts rather than backed up with evidence and I think she got this.. Putting it into practice though will be interesting.
It took years till we got to this stage so I understand what you’re saying regarding your husband
