Chapter 2: How does mental illness impact marriage dynamics?
Hi, thank you.
Absolutely. How can we help?
So I have a question for Dr. John. I've been listening to the show, to his podcast lately and just really finding his advice and questions helpful.
Chapter 3: What strategies can help manage marital expectations?
And so my husband struggles with some mental illness and that obviously impacts our marriage. We've been married for about 20 years and he suffers with bipolar, depression and anxiety. The first 10 years were pretty rough because he was just kind of being diagnosed and trying to find the right medication and treatment and all of those things.
Chapter 4: How can couples navigate personal interests in a relationship?
But there's been an improvement and continues to be improvement. But I'm kind of just getting to the point of really feeling the impact of it on our marriage, even more so because I'm in a, I don't want to say a better place, but like in a place where I'm realizing kind of what's important to me.
um so some like some of the ways that it impacts is like I'm very outgoing I'm social I like you know traveling and doing different things uh he does not like he he doesn't really leave our house a lot um he doesn't really enjoy socializing he does go to like the important events that we have which I really appreciate that he pushes himself to do that because I know he doesn't enjoy it and he kind of struggles to be there um but I guess I'm I'm struggling with
feeling disappointed and resentment, even though I know it's not him that's doing that. It's, it's the mental illness, but just kind of trying to figure out what's next. Almost like I can still do the things that I want to, but I want to be able to do them with him. And so it sounds like how to work through that.
Yeah. I mean, it sounds like you had a picture of what your life is going to look like. And for 10 years of it, you were treading water and you're bailing water out of a boat with holes in it. And then you got a new boat, right? You figured out you got the meds regulated and it sounds like he's worked his butt off and you have too. And now you're kind of realizing, oh, this is it.
Yeah. This is as good as it's going to get.
Well, I don't like to say that kind of that language because you're going to, you look at him and you keep saying he's got to grow, but you do too. But, but this is what it is right now. Right. And you see the trajectory of where you come and you see that you can, uh, you know, imagine a trajectory of where you're going.
Um, like my hard question for you is I'll say almost always, but in a significant number of times of conversations like this, you've met someone. Maybe you haven't cheated on anybody or anything like that, but you've met somebody that laughs at your jokes, tells you that you're beautiful, is hilarious, shows up, seems a little more stable. Is that the case here?
No.
Okay. So you're just looking at this thing, I love this man, but I really don't love my life.

So I initially thought I needed guidance on money advice. I'm going to a long and tricky divorce. But I think And it has been a long time trying to get divorced and arguing and just, yeah, it's kind of unraveled me. But I think what, I'm sorry, my throat is like, my heart isn't like my throat. No, you're good, you're good, you're good.
But I think what I actually need guidance with is how to make, have more confidence with decisions to know that however the divorce works out, I'll be okay.
