DW asked for divorce but it’s weird…

[Anonymous]

I smell a troll, but just in case:

1. Patients should NEVER take thyroid meds midday. I don't know what thyroid disease your wife has, OP, but she should take her meds either first thing in the morning or last thing at night, away from meals and certain molecules (like the ones found in grapefruit) and supplements, such as iron or calcium.

2. Thyroid meds are long-acting and DO NOT influence mood within a few hours. That is not possible. The impact of daily medication is usually felt, at the earliest, within one week, and patients are considered stabilized on one dose after 6 weeks.

3. If she is hyperthyroid, she can be highly irritable and anxious. If she is hypothyroid, she can be lethargic and depressed. She should have regular bloodwork to make sure she stays within the normal range.

She sounds bipolar.

OP a normal person does not say they love you and then few hours later tell you that they are filing for divorce. I think it’s time a family intervention. She needs mental health intervention.

I am telling you this is normal for women
Why is it that you all get the magic of childbirth but can’t get middle age discontent and hormones. It comes with the package, buddy.

Find ways to cope
don’t add to it

Find new hobby and ways to enjoy yourself

This will pass in one to five years if you give her space. If you can’t wait, then lose half your wealth

Or I should say she’ll take her half and be on her way

Oh the irony….

What I find kind of odd is that she has not yet filed she is threatening to do so. OP, you sure your wife isn’t f***ing some dude on the side and she just wishes you could be out of the picture so she can continue her teenage fling..

The biggest issue in our marriage is that because I had such a demanding job I didn’t give my wife all the emotional support she needed but I have tried my best.

But I am wondering if my wife is suffering from mental illness and quite concerned the impact it could have for our kids especially once we start joint custody.

Look at this patter just so you don’t think I am bitter husband calling his wife mentally Ill because she asked for divorce.

Monday 7 am: she wakes in a bad mood screaming at the kids because they are not ready or things like that…

9 am I get a text from her to tell me to tell my family that she is divorcing me

Around Noon after having taken her thyroid meds her mood improve from a few hours

In the afternoon around 6 Pm she says she loves me

Then around 10 pm she again says she is going to file for divorce the next day

I am quite concerned for her well being….

Ok. If you really “tried your best” at the point when your children aren’t ready (or something like that) why aren’t you getting them ready?

This doesn’t take rocket science.

I’m a mental health professional. This doesn’t scream mental illness to me. It sounds to me like you two are fighting a lot, and she got pissed at you in the morning and again before bed.

Here is my advice to you. The person filing for divorce will often have to justify why they are doing it. So don’t be so hard on yourself trying to decipher the why…You will just go crazy.

Her behavior, while I am not a mental health person, is pointing to depression or maybe bipolar. This is serious and speak to her family to get this thing sorted. The divorce is the easy part in this scenario as you will move on but her mental state based on what you described is not normal.

Here’s a tip: anyone purporting to diagnose his wife over the internet from a report of a brief text exchange is looney tunes and should be disregarded.

Op, has she actually filed?

She’s taking her thyroid med at the wrong time. Supposed to be morning in empty stomach.

Maybe she needs thyroid checked? If high can cause lots of issues (Grave’s Rage). I’d be worried for her. Rule that out pronto.
