My wife was absolutely great at first. Couldnt be better. For years, she kept me going...

But, I've suffered off and on for over 12 years now....

Since we had our first child (4 years old now) my wife has sometimes found it difficult to cope with me as well sometimes. Shes admitted this.

She says she cant cope with it after all these years at times. I remind her that neither can I and that I'm not doing it on purpose.

However, should I accept that after all these years, it is going to get very tiring for her sometimes? I can appreciate that it must be hard being the partner of a depressed person sometimes...

Anybody else in a similar situation?
