Start listening to the radio show regularly. You can listen from your browser, or you can get a free app for your phone or tablet. The info for the app is in the right column of this page. Listening to the radio show is a great way to learn MB concepts. I like to listen when I am in my car using the app with my phone connected to the car's audio system.

She goes back to her doc in a few days, she has professional help but it doesn't appear to be doing anything, in fact things with her have gotten a little worse to be honest. Thanks for taking the time to read and help me tho, I appreciate it honestly
Please make an appointment with her psychiatrist and go with her. You need to be very involved with her mental illness regimen.

Have her put you on the release to make appointments and call in for her medicines.

Can you do this?

Thanks I will try but she thinks I am against her so she doesn't trust me with her doctor, or medical decisions, and in fact gets really angry at the mention of anything medical-wise.

I emailed Dr Haley, and she got back to me via email. I am supposed to call her sometime next week, so I guess it will be on the radio show.

That's great. Let us know when you'll be on the show so we can listen.

I am supposed to call Dr. Harley this week, for the show, and I haven't done it yet. To be honest I am giving up. Much screaming and yelling at the begeninning of the weekend, she was delusional, and downright hateful as well, and for some reason she has started telling lies (maybe the delusions?). To be honest I don't think there is any saving, not sure I even want to anymore. It had become clear the way she has felt about me from the begenning, the same way now. Nothing is different.
Went to the er Sat night, appearently I had a minor heart attack as well, go figure my health is now going down hill. It was no big deal, very minor, and will make a full recovery, have good meds for it now, and have to watch my health (and diet). She does not even know this happened and will probably not tell her, she was wishing for it anyway so I guess she got her wish.The bad thing is being in the hospital, I got accused of screwing around. I am finding a place to go today simply for my stress, I cannot take this anymore.
On a good note, I called around to a few people I know, and I can get a contractor job making around 200K or more, but it would require going to the Middle East, seriously considering it, so things may be looking up for both of us.

This will be my last post

So sorry Sprinter.

Do talk to Dr. Harley. He used to own and operate a large chain of mental health clinics. He has a wide range of experience and can at least point you in the right direction.

I wouldn't take a job that takes you out of the country away from your spouse.


If you are serious about saving your marriage, you can't get it all on this forum. You've got to listen to the Marriage Builders Radio show, every day. Install the app!

If your wife is not on board with MB, some of my posts to other men might help you.
