I (27M) have been married to my wife (25F) for 2 years. We have a 6 month old daughter. We met in college during my junior year. We were both D1 athletes in the same sport, so we had an instant connection. Even though that part of our life is behind both of us, we’ve stayed strong.
She really came out of her shell during college. At first she was very quiet and reserved, and seemed to be more interested books than relationships. But she ended up joining a sorority and becoming more sociable. I definitely lean towards the extroverted side, and I fell in love with this bubbly butterfly.
over the last year or so, however, I’ve noticed significant changes in my wife’s behavior. Maybe it’s related to having a kid, maybe it’s not. Who knows. But she’s become a lot less social, doesn’t spend as much time with friends, etc. i’ve talk to her about this, but the conversations have never gone anywhere.
The issue is that she began engaging in degenerate behavior. She didn’t go to the gym as often (went from 6 days a week to 2 or 3), started playing video games, etc. And the straw that broke the camels back was I caught her watching anime pornography. I have nothing against pornography. I occasionally watch it myself. But anime pornography… All I can say is yikes.
So she and I sat down, and had a conversation. I explained I was worried about her possibly being depressed and wanted to help her. I brought up some of these examples, and told her I think she should start seeing a therapist.
That did not go over well. She got mad, started crying, and accusing me of being mean. That was about a week ago and our relationship has been very cold since then. We’re gonna sit down and talk about it again tonight, I guess we’ll see how it goes.
TL;DR - suggested my wife see a therapist, she’s offended and mad at me
