Q: I Need Your Help@@ Divorce Is Looming On the Horizon

Hi ...Just on a lark I put hypothyroid and divorce into google and got a lot of hits (150,000) my wife and I have been married for 6 years and for two-3 of those years I am convinced she was hypothyroid. Because thats when the health forum ...The hoplessness and the weight gain happened. It was finally disgnosed this last january after we had started living apartand were trying to work things out. Here is the problem I am having ...After she gained weight and lost hope (depression) and was very irritable to be around because everything upset her and she wouldn't go to the dr even though we all tried to make her ...We thought she was suffering from depression ....Anyway what happened is that we all tried to have as little time around her as possible after dinner I would retreat to my office and work etc. She had zero interest in an sexual relations at all which I took in stride so she says she's moving out and we all help her pack and the week before I file for divorce I sit down with her and tell her she needs to go to the dr before we end our marriage and our family because she wasn't the happy girl I had married her voice was lower and gruff and she had the roundest face you can imagine ...Still I loved her I just couldnt be around her and she needed to go and get help if possible and I was in no hurry to get divorced and that I would feel terrible if it was something besides her that was causing these problems...She went was diagnosed and people let me tell you within 45 days she was happy and at 60 days she was dropping weight so fast you would have thought she had cancer ...Anyway she was back 100% and happy and feminine the whole package that I married . What also came back was her memory of us shutting her out ..And she was really hurt and mad...The problem seems to be that she doesnt really think there was any change in her demeanor since taking the pills and that she wasn't difficult to be around ...She also thinks if she moves back in with me that she will go right back into her depression because she has projected those negative symptoms of her disease onto me ..I caused the depression and hopelesness I caused the weight gain and if she comes back then it will happen all over again I promise you thats it I was never abusive or angry back or anything else if you would like to write her an email and send it to me that would be fantastic ...Especially if it hurt your relationshps with your loved ones as well I we are just about out of time before the attorneys get ahold of her and we get a divorce that never should happen can anyone please help me.

Wrong forum, mate.


Oh and by the way, i'm not surprised your wife doesn't want to get back with you if your post is an accurate portrayal of your relationship: you don't sound very understanding. Far too many comments about her physical appearance and wanting her to 'humour you' and have sex when she doesn't want to?!!! Makes me wonder if you are for real actually...

Hypothyroid Wife
I was exceptionally understanding this went on for almost 3 yrs ...The problem wasn't her bitterness it was that she wouldn't let anyone try to help her ....I'm sorry if my description of hrer symptons made me sound shallow and uncaring I used the description to allude to her loss of self esteem and the obviousness of the problem believe me if I hadn't of cared about her I would have been gone 6 months into the thing sorry I didn't do a better job of writing my request for help

Do you realise you are posting on a board called '.Abortion .Debate'? Try '.Dealing with .Divorce and .Ending a .Relationship' instead. Just an idea! ;-)

Not sure why this is in the abortion debate forum but I have to agree with purestgreen, why should your wife have "humoured you" for five mins when she clearly didn't want sex?
Seriously, hypothyroidism is linked to depression (in that depression is one of the symptoms, amongst the weight gain you mentioned) but it can be exceptionally difficult for people who are suffering and feeling low to allow anyone to help them. I understand you would get frustrated but remeber your vows? "sickness and in health".
Once the illness had been taken care of and she dropped back to the weight she was previously she was back to the woman you matrried, the "whole package" - well i'm sorry but marriage is about more than looks and it seems kind of shallow to me...

Anyway, this has nothing to do with this forum!

Well go post where it belongs, we are not going to give you anything you want here. I advise no one else to respond; nto to be mean, but just because this topic will (hopefully) be moved soon by a mod. How selfish to post on the forum with the most hits, instead of where you belong.
