It's been awhile since the last post on this thread, but I just found it - and it's the first place I've seen where this topic (being w/ someone w/ PPD) is discussed.

I'm heartsick - my engagement recently ended and I'm in love with the woman I was to marry. She ended it based on my lack of integrity and stability (in her POV).

I tried SO hard to make it work - but she just didn't trust me. True, I made some mistakes (re money), but in her heart she knows I was true blue and faithful to her, and her reasons for breaking up just wouldn't withstand scrutiny. However, this lady is dead set she's right about not being able to trust me.

I could list lots of events along the way that lead me to this conclusion: GLS suffers from PPD. I realize this now (since we broke up) and although this is moot, I pose the question - how can one cope with being in a committed relationship with a PPD? What could I have done differently? Specifically, I'm asking: what techniques must one use in responding to false accusations from a PPD who's dead set they're right about essentially everything?

Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks!!!
