I’m not familiar with the term TRD. For myself , I can’t take much seroquel because I work .

I got sick of feeling like I was being used.


It sounds like your only option is to stick it out until you can find a way to support yourself. What would you do if he left you? You would have to find some way to survive.

I agree with the previous comment that you should try to bring it up at a moment when you are calm to keep things from getting too confrontational.



I have been married 12 years and I'd have to disagree with your statement that, "marriage is more about what you can tolerate than anything else." I certainly don't feel that way about my husband. We actually enjoy being married to each other.
Tough crowd tonight.

Yes,he's aware of how I feel. My intention in that paragraph was to tell all he does for me. I do drive. Just not to the ketamine clinic and back. See if you can drive numb. He's not a damn taxi service.
He gets a wife who would die of a broken heart if anything ever happened to him. He gets an excellent cook and my appreciation for starters. He's my best friend and my soul mate. Yeah, it's not great right now but it's tolerable. Oh, and I gave him his son he always wanted.

Is there some service that will drive you to clinic and back? It is good he drives but there are other ways to get around. Many people don’t drive at all and aren’t married. You mentioned friends. Maybe they can drive you to a clinic?

You sound resentful towards the other posters? What response would you like?

I find it absurd that someone has one complaint about their spouse and almost everyone is all about "leave him now!" It's not so easy, and very possibly not a wise move.

He doesn't mind driving me to my treatments and I need assistance to get to the car after. It's a 40 mile trip one way.

I'm not the least bit resentful. If I don't want feedback, positive or negative, I don't post.
My situation is very, very confusing right now.

I apologize if I offended anyone. It was not my intention and I think it best to close the thread.

I meant because you said “tough crowd” that you weren’t getting useful feedback . It sounds like you just needed to vent. I wish you the best.

I don’t believe she should immediately leave him at all. Neither does anyone else. No one said leave him now. I sure didn’t

I and it sounds like several others just don’t understand staying for a reason of him driving to appointments. Tons of people don’t drive, are sick and have never been married. Not every woman has a man to drive her anywhere or do anything for her at all.
Thanks for this!

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
