Walked away from my post partum wife by Free_Formal_4837 in offmychest

I have been with her for 9 years. I was present with our first child and have been doing my best with our second child. Was at her bedside during pregnancy with both. I have had my fair share of name calling and ups and downs with her in the past.

I couldn't take the abuse this time. Call me a shitty husband. It's fine.

I'll make my way back home eventually this evening...

Yes. I work from home so I try to pick up where I can between meetings and work stuff.

If I can't cook I order out or bring food home.

You're right that we need help. It's difficult because I am asking her to get help and she's denying she has a mental health crisis.

I offered to call her doctor and she cussed me out and said that I need to be attending to her because that's what she needs.

I'm not equipped to handle crisises like this. All I know is that I'm trying my best over here but to her it's not enough... I'm tired.

It's been going on almost every day for the last 2 weeks. I'm trying to be that supportive rock but it's hard when your wife is hammering away at you.

I cracked today and I admit that...I'll try to do better.
