I am moved by the selflessness of your love for her. It is rare to find.

This community, for the most part, is pretty awesome. Just gotta remember to not let the few idiots ruin it.

All the best <3

Don't really know what to say, just... hope she'll find what she needs, and that it's not starting over elsewhere, and that your relationship will survive this and become stronger once that happens. Maybe it's the wrong thing to say. I don't know.

That's not something to do with menstruation, is it?

I was reading something interesting once that stuck in my mind....

If your in a situation where you are with a partner who suffers any kind of emotional pressure, you want to be on the side of being someone who they turn to for strength, not on the side of being someone they turn away from!

I guess the lesson is that we need to think about is how demanding we are in our relationships verses being a source of inspiration and strength to our partners?

Wishing you and your partner the best :-)

Stay strong Drealmer7 ! The GOG community is a good place to recover and evacuate the stress of a shitty life. I wish you the best to you, your partner and your kitties.

In most cases yeah, unfortunately. The digital era have made us perverse screamers where likes and sympathy is more important to our egos, than actual compassion for one another.

But I like to look at it and think the same as we do in paramedics: The whom screams the most, is the one that doesn't need help (referring to when, lets say after a car crash, the ABCs are the most important, as the one who screams already have those in order).

Many also needs to just get "it" out. Depression and PTSD isn't something that just goes away, even on special clinics. It's about learning how to live with it, to get help sooner than later, and cope with episodes that may arise.

drealmer7: I hope you find strength to move on. If you can't have contact with her at all, AND doesn't now where she is or WITH whom, even though you're not an obsessive stalker with a court order - I'm sorry to be direct - she doesn't need you... If she really did you would know where and what.

Relationship without trust is like having a phone with no net... and what do we do then - we play games.

And please, treat your animals with a big heart and lots of snacks :D

Best luck if all is as it is said.

...otherwise I cannot quite shrug the feeling of seeing a new printer-girl story unfold :P

There's nothing wrong with reaching out when you're feeling bad. Human beings are social animals, and nobody likes feeling like their all alone in their troubles and worries. (Just be careful who you reach out to, obviously)

I'm sorry for your stresses, sweetie. :( I'm pulling for you and your partner! May she get some help to work through her issues, and may you be included as soon as possible. I know it's hard to have someone you love who is suffering and not be able to do much about it.

We may not know you personally, but as evidenced from other posts in this thread, we're sending out some good vibes and well-wishes your way! I hope they help in some small measure :)

Hope everything gets sorted out in a positive way!

Thanks for sharing.

I've come to this community only lately, and although I see a lot of dreck, I also see a lot of good still shimmering in between, and hear the tales of when this place was utterly amazing. I'm glad to hear that the good is still able to touch you this strongly, and hope it'll continue to be so, and maybe even regain some of its former prominence.

Wishing you a lot of strength, and your partner the ability to find peace, to overcome, and return to you swiftly.

That's often how people with depression behave.

My sister suffers from depression..... it almost seems like the depression in itself is like a living entity that wishes to preserve itself, so it tries to influence the person to try and avoid the things that might help..... I have been depressed as well, i used this to my advantage, i simply asked myself which are the things i least feel like doing, and that's how i know those are exactly the things i need to do!! It worked!!!!!!!!
