I've been reading this forum and found a huge relief just to hear these stories. I've generally suffered in silence. My story is about as bad as it gets. It's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde beyond my wildest imagination. I've been marking my calender for years now. We've been married 15 years and have four beautiful kids. Ahhh pregnancy was bliss!!!! I always tried to deal with her an a rational level--but that goes nowhere. Don't feel comfortable going into the details, but during one outrageous PMDD eposide I ended up in a jail cell with a guy with flames tatooed on his head who'd just stabbed somebody in the chest with a pair of scissors. Finally got out on $25,000 bond and when the DA got the whole story, charges were dropped. Everybody assumed that I'd throw in the towell after that. No way, I'm in this marriage for the long haul. I just felt more compassion for my wife than anger over the whole episode. Men--don't ever give up. Your wife and kids are worth it. We finally are getting some professional help.
