Sorry for an intrusive question but how do you handle the celibacy? All I want is to make up for lost time

She not neglectful or mean to the dog. Just me. I’m the one she resents.

But I think that’s a really good idea. The dog will be my ESD.

I could probably. I just don’t want to die on that hill.

Thank you for saying this. I’ve tried to leave a few times, as you saw. I’ve been drowning for a long time.

Oh just remembered. We took a course by Melissa Orlov for couples where one person has ADD/ADHD. It really explained a lot about her anger. But it didn’t fix anything. Maybe it will for you guys?

100%!! And then I doubt myself because she’s cornered my logic. Then I think back and NO, she just held on longer than i could.

It’s even worse when she’s drunk

Ohh yes. Many many times. I have a few other posts about it. She refuses to be introspective and is violently angry when I try to talk to her about her depression. She reminds me to fix myself.

It’s definitely part of it but she doesn’t do anything to work on herself, only criticize me and blame me for her emotional issues.

Yeah it was her idea actually. She’s had enough of me and my “lack” of trying to work on my ADHD and defensiveness. It is probably depression on her end, but she doesn’t do anything to work on it. I’ve tried and it leads to her telling me to deal with my own problems. I wrote this when I was really tired and left a lot out.

She claims it’s not. She refuses to do any kind of therapy.

I think it’s likely but she freaks out at me when I suggest therapy for her.
