Not saying it’s always the case but it usually is.

My husband has Tourette’s with severe OCD/anxiety and he does get some panic attacks related to anxiety. Yes I knew it I think on a third date. It’s a none issue for me or our marriage. It runs in their family. It is what it is. People have all kind of health things. No one is 100% healthy.

I don’t know how marriage could help or not help. Marriage isn’t a solution for whatever issues, health or otherwise. I don’t think you should enter marriage in hopes to heal her. It doesn’t work this way. She should take care of her health by seeing a doctor, going to therapy. Perhaps she needs meds. You can’t fix her. health.

But then again if she is reconsidering the whole thing, i don’t think thinking of marriage is wise. You should only marry when both you are 100% sure. Why not just date for awhile. What’s the rush?
100% not going to make marriage as a solution. I know for the fact that I cannot treat this illness myself as I am no doctor. Even if she is rethinking about our relationship, it will most likely do to symptoms she is having, meaning her depression and panic disorder's is showing symptoms in emotional and physical actions.

She said she will rethink but I will never give up on her that she will never recover. I want to be able to give aid for her to get treatment. I want to go to the doctors with her, if she can't do it alone, even, if she can't make an appointment I'll do it for her. I want to be part of her life and witness that she is getting the actual legitimate treatment this time. From meds, to CBT and other things, like cutting off caffeine and alcohol.

After all of that and she becomes better, then we can slowly talk about our futures again.
