Hi y'all. I'm new here. I've had struggles with my wife for many years now. I have never been able to figure out why she was so unhappy with me and with our kids. I know she has struggled with anxiety/depression but there are so many behaviors of hers I do not understand. I find myself at wits end and don't know what to do. I thought I would try to gain some insight from this group. Thanks!

Hi Chris89,
You've found a great place for support. I'm sorry to hear that you feel at your wit's end. That is really hard.
How long have you been married? What behaviors are the most difficult for you at the moment?
Keep writing and share your story. You are definitely not alone. We're here to support you.
