[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure what you issue is, but I find generally women don't support their husbands.  I've seen it multiple times and have experienced it.  I was going through depression and PTSD, therapist told her to spend time with me and not leave me alone.  What did she do?  Spent no time and looked for every opportunity to be out of the house or not with me.  I know it can be a downer but when you need someone to help you and the person you care for isn't there it certainly makes things more of a struggle.  Especially when the therapist tells you to make an effort to spend time with the person.

I have another military friend going through the same stuff, only his wife ended up cheating.

So essentially when the chips are down you're on your own as a guy, don't expect your wife to support you, unless there is something to gain for her.[/quote]

I feel for you, but don't make this about gender because I was in the same boat. And I would never say "all men" are like this. My husband not only did not support me when my parent died, he actively made things so much worse for me that it was hard to get up in the morning. (Fought me on when I could travel to them when he was in the ICU, wouldn't answer the phone when I called to check in, not once asked how he was, etc. and I could go on and on). The message has been sent loud and clear - when the chips are down, I'm on my own. I actually feel sorry for him for the day not only that one of his parents dies (they are both in failing health right now) but it will dawn on him what he put me through. And really, continues to, because I know I'm on my own, even though I'm married.[/quote]
