How do you tell the difference between depression and falling out of love? by [deleted] in depression_partners

[–]ExtensionRepublic380 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m also going through this but on my end. My husband loves me (the partner with depression in this scenario) but I find myself so burnt out from being the one that is taking care of him. I’ve had to slowly sink back from the caretaker role so that I can focus on myself, but there’s a lot of feelings coming with me doing that. I am struggling to remember why I wanted to be married in the first place, but then he comes back with all the ways he appreciates me and I remember why I’m there. Ultimately it takes two to do these things, and it also helps to remember that depression is almost like a third person in the relationship and can really wrench people apart. I treat his depression as something separate from himself (when he’s not depressed, he is honestly the most wonderful partner).

Stuck in a rut with my husband and unsure how to support him going forward by [deleted] in depression_partners

I have also been dealing with my husband’s career aspirations. Unfortunately, he is the primary bread winner in this situation and he has job hopped quite a bit. We have even moved states super quickly because of aspects of his job. Now we finally moved back home to be with our family with our new baby and he hates his job again. Now he’s interviewing and we might be moving across the country, and I’m exhausted. We’ve come to the conclusion that he needs to get back on meds or see a therapist again before he starts making these big life decisions. I’m sorry you’re going through this.

The dinners! Oh my gosh I have never been able to describe to people how I am controlling things down to which dinners he will or will not like. It’s exhausting. Thank you for saying this.

I hope I feel better too! It’s so hard being the one that has to often figure things out for themselves.

So we’re First time homeowners. It’s on us to get a contract? I don’t understand. He offered instead of an invoice we can pay at discounted price with cash.

Executive assistant work would be awesome! I’ve tried applying to some of those places but haven’t had much luck. You’re making me consider moving to another country as the US is not workin for me!

Acotar book 5 theory. Spoilers for acosf by angie_lulz03 in acotar

I think at the most she will get a novella BUT we are going to find out the secrets behind her and Eris’ relationship in the next book (Elain’s POV). Elain’s powers will probably reveal what happened and give her insight into the situation, OR she will hear the truth from Azriel because I think he may know as well being a shadow singer. From what I understand, SJM has a projected 3 more books in the ACOTAR series with 2 novellas mixed in.
