[quote=Anonymous]OP here. It's a push/pull thing. My wife wants to feel settled, build friendships, etc. She also wants to travel, live abroad, and not live in the DC area (we moved from an area we liked but had horrible career opportunities for us). She wanted a marriage and family and to live close to family (my family lives in the area and she adores them -- likes them more than her own). She also misses where we used to live, our friends there, and the lower cost of living. It's like this impossible thing. You can't have all of these things at once without being in more than one place at a time.

She said something that was the most hurtful. She said our lives feel like settling. I don't feel that way. I feel like I made the best decisions with the information I have and am happy with my choices. She doesn't.

And yes, her therapist diagnosed her with mild depression. She's resistant to medication but is going to therapy. It's a problem and a realization I've had about my marriage. I'm a pretty happy guy and upbeat about things. In fact, the first time I actually vocalized that the complaining was hurtful was when I told my wife how hurtful her comments were to me.

And apologies. I screwed up the title. [/quote]
