My wife is the one woman that I always thought I would be with. We were in high school together and she has always been there to support me through everything. She is an inspiration to me and my best friend. It is hard sometimes to realize that she needs her space during our seperation because she means that much to me. I know she wants me but she is scared that I have not changed (anger and depression) but since I started taking my meds I feel a lot better. My feelings don't get hurt that much anymore, I do not have crying spells and I have not had an angry outburst in a long time. I feel that there is a clarity to my thinking now. I am able to communicate with people (used to be an introvert and now I won't shut the hell up). I just wish I knew how to show my "Angel" that things have changed. I am not throwing a pity party I just need to express the way I feel right now. This is always the best way for me to do that. May God bless you all.

Could you write her a letter? Even show her your post here? I, too, used to be an introvert then turned to an extrovert, it's a powerful feeling to change that much...you must want to shout it from the mountaintops!! Sometimes you feel so different on the inside and it takes a while for the people on the outside to 'get..' it...did you try sending her flowers? Write us more, keep us posted............junerain

Dragon,

Take this to heart and I'm speaking from experience.... Give this sometime bcos what you need to do now is focusing on you. I went down that road that you are on already a long rough road. Overtime you will be tested ( anger/ depression ) stand fast on your convictions.

I will help you as much as possible but you have to remember that they are hurt and your actions will speak tremendous for you. You can say your sorry until you are blue in the face but yet that was the past and the new dragon has appeared.

Stay patient my friend my journey has taken me to some hard places but I learned who I was and what I gave up for my wife .. Your wife is looking at her life and will make some of the needed changes but DONT ATTEMPT TO CHANGE HER

God Bless you Dragon

Your wife needs time to experience the changes in you and know you can be counted on and that can't be rushed and the length of time is hers to dictate. Being "steady" in your own life and taking care of yourself is the first indication of change.
