When Your Marriage Makes You Depressed | Paul Friedman

Excellent. Brilliant. So fundamental.

As a man thinks therefore he is. Be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Set your sights on things above. So many spiritual ways to say where we place our focus is what we gravitate towards. People tend to focus on rhe negative to preserve self instead of the positive. Life is definitely 10 percent what happens to us and 90 percent how we react. Choose the positive seek it and it will come. You are absolutely right we own our thoughts and minds and we must master them.

I came by this video because I have not been sleeping well for 5 days now. I am experiencing this very situation. My husband told me that he is being friends with his ex-wife because of his 4 children who are now adults and 2 have families of their own. Still, I respect that they are a family and do not have any objections with my husband spending time with his ex-wife and kids. My problem roots in my husband's and his ex-wife's very close friendship. The ex-wife prepares my husband's food every day...even his coffee and sends him messages to check whether he has eaten or to instruct him to put water in his coffee. She cooks for the children and my husband and then sends him a picture through his FB messenger and then tells him she's coming in a few minutes. When they are not visiting their first grandchild, they go walking together with their youngest daughter. They always post videos of them bonding. In one of the videos, she danced and he danced too. That's how close they are. I should have known better, but I was so foolishly in love. I am based in Saudi Arabia and my husband is based in the Philippines...that's why we don't live together. I should have known. The day after our wedding, the ex-wife cooked steak and wanted my husband to taste it. (We were at their children's house to drop them off after our wedding before we went for our honeymoon.). I prayed fervently at that time that my husband will not take a bite from the food his ex-wife was offering, but he did....and she fed him the food and then acted as if, she was surprised and didn't do it on purpose. Seven years after, I am still in torment. My husband and his ex-wife continue to grow closer. I see all of my husband's messenger chats because I have access to his messenger. I confronted him, but for him, just as long as there's no sex, he is not doing anything wrong. I know I have to let go now to stop torturing myself. Please pray for me.

Is it true that any marriage could work?

Thank you for the words of wisdom

My inner voice does have the "I'm going to die" when I have no idea what to do.
