She
We were just starting to get things back to normal. We had been fighting since June and we had finally stopped fighting, and I felt like we were starting to love each other again. We had planned on having sex since Sunday, but with the holiday, and events, and kids, we hadnt had a chance. Then Christmas night, before I had to go to work, I asked if she was still in the mood, and she got a dark look on her face and asked why I wanted to have sex in the first place. That devolved into her telling me she couldnt allow herself to be happy, then whats the point of living, then she cant wait until she dies, then how she hates how sex feels and she never wants to be touched again, and cant wait until the act is over, then how she wants another kid, then how liberals are ruining the country, and people on public assistance piss her off. All I could do was tell her I love her and I find her attractive, and how we cant afford another kid (we have a 2 year old and a 7 month old now) and Ill be here. She didnt believe me and acted like I was trying to sell her magic beans. I dont know which way this is going to go. She was civil to me today, and talked about the house we are trying to build, but all I can do is give her space and let her work through this. I honestly dont know how this is going to go, and Im wondering if the end is near.

Hi riley,
well, I'm wondering if the end is near, too.
The way you describe things, she sounds pretty manic to me, and I would be trying to persuade her to see a therapist, with me or, if she preferred, without me.
It sounds like you need help and support to attempt to get through this. I'm hoping that neither of you say things to each other that can't be unsaid, if you know what I mean.
@rileyrhodes could she be suffering with postnatal depression? Maybe speak to her about seeing a therapist. It sounds like she really needs to speak to someone.
