Marriage & WLS

Well said! I am divorced after a difficult brain tumor recovery and my ex developed bipolar disorder. It was a hard road and I know that my personality changed but only for the better after having brain surgery. I became more confident and more sure of myself but my ex did not and he suffered from depression for many years even prior to my tumor diagnosis.  We also married young and had been high school sweethearts, you change as you grow older, face crisis, but the important thing is to grow together through that.  Unfortunately we did not. But I know that I gave every last ounce of effort to save the marriage. My Dad told me to have no regrets...do everything you can and if you end up not being able to save it then you know you did the best you could. So I would say, fight hard and try to talk with your spouse about this and work it out, get counseling, tackle every hurdle you come to and give it your best. God bless you on your journey.

Mary Catherine is always so wise....

You said it perfectly; I have nothing to add except "ditto".

good luck OP. If you take this advice, I think you will come out the other side with a stronger relationship.

I think what Mary Catherine said is right on the money!! :D

And, I also agree with Lora!!

Marriage is hard work, and sometimes it requires us to be more honest with another person and with ourselves than we find comfortable, but it is worth it!!

Huggles!!
