It is 10:30 pm and I am about to go to bed. I have been married for 27 years (my 3rd one). My wife has been having severe depression and it has been hard for me to hang on. It is hard for me to hang on being that I have been through divorce before and survived but it helps me remember what I went through by reading the posts here. Being married is really better than being single. Also helping others I think helps oneself.

Great attitude! Hang in there. Is she getting help (meds) for depression. Most of us with MS have depression issues. Meds usually help. Hugs Mam

She tried SSRI\'s (Prozac) and that was a real disaster now on small dose of Elavil and seems to be doing better.

Jo60... isn\'t being single better if you are in a bad marriage and the other person doesn\'t want to make it better... or doesn\'t want to WORK at it and doesn\'t want the responsibility that comes with being married?

Please help me understand and you sound like you\'ve got some good experience to lend.
