I hope someone can understand

I've been married now for two years and I have recently come to the conclusion that my wife suffers from this disorder... I can't connect with her meaningfully and it's tearing me apart. I don't want to make this about me but I don't know what to do... .I've had very loving relationships and this one just isn't fulfilling for me... How do I get through to her? How do I cope with my own despair? What can I do?

Welcome to the family adam,
Like married21years said, take care of yourself above all else. It is easy to fall into a trap where you think you can sacrifice your happiness for someone else's.

Start off by working your way through these links:
LESSONS
They put things into a logical format, as it can be a bit overwhelming.
To a degree it is about you to,
