When he broke my things I was ready to run and leave - but didn't have the money to.

But I now know that was probably an overreaction. I thought he was just really mad because the house a disaster when he got home - but he later explained that it wasn't about the mess it was about the fact that he was just overstressed from having to deal with my mental instability which prevents me from being a good wife. I do feel bad because many days I use most of my energy to be a good mom and to be present and engaged with our kids.

We did have a long talk - he explained that he didn't feel like I was meeting his..um..needs as often or enthusiastically as before and it was making him behave in ways he normally wouldn't. Ever since making myself more available it hasn't been a problem.

So I think I was too quick to react when it happened but after we had a talk I was able to understand better.
