[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would post this in the general relationships forum but probably need some WW advice. My wife (46) and I (38) have been together for 12 years. She had an extremely intense and stressful job for the past several years. She put on a lot of weight, drank a lot, started wearing cheap clothing (refuses to let me take her shopping), stopped taking care of her hygiene - eg her skin is terrible and she only brushes her teeth once a day. I chalked it up to the awful job and didn’t say anything.

Now she has been out of the job for over a year and has lost some weight but is[b] still drinking daily. [/b]Everything else is the same despite ample free time.

[b]Obviously it’s depression but she’s on antidepressants.[/b] She’s an extremely sensitive person and refuses couples therapy and individual therapy.

[b]Do I say something? If so what?[/b] It will be part of a larger talk about our marriage. We have kids (it’s not that she’s busy with them, we have daycare and split remaining childcare) so ending it will be messy. But I’m at my wits end. I want my wife back :([/quote]

The antidepressants can only do so much with copious alcohol on board. Yes, you need to talk to her -- just bring up everything you said here. [/quote]
