[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not to be a smart ass but where these men like this when you were dating? Ugh, lack of common sense is my kryptonite abd honest to goodness he'd have two times of pulling the mess you are talking about and they would find his body in the backyard. UHGGGG![/quote]

My DH is very organized, responsible, hardworking and positive. I didn’t know that there are mental issues in his family. SIL diagnosed as bipolar several years after we got married. He has rare anxiety episodes, maybe 2-3 times a year, if there are some major things that trigger him, somewhat similar to what Op described. the worst one was when I miscaried. No, i didnt see this coming while dating.  Its hard when it happens, but not bad enough to end the marriage over this. Now I am better at recognizing it and being more prepared. We are in therapy and i hope to conviince him eventually to get screened by a psychiatrist. [/quote]

OP here.  Thank you for sharing, I am so sorry about your miscarriage.  Is your DH open to meds?  Mine is not (nor is he open to professional help), but I have *absolutely* seen extreme anxiety in his family, among several other mental illnesses.  IMHO, if your DH "owns his family's issues" it really helps, or starts him on his way, to get the help he needs.  I think outsiders have a hard time understanding that unless you reside with DH's family (most people, including me, do not) - one has no way of picking up on these intricate complexities, dynamics and issues within the family.  Not only that, I am not a psychiatrist, so I would have little or no indication, even if I did spend 24/7 with them. I only have my own family as point of reference, like the rest of you.  But I am glad for those who don't have to deal with it - go you! [/quote]
