Chuckle. Well, my husband and I have been together monogamously for over twenty years, so I'm the wrong one to be pessimistic about it.
I think it comes down to decision and will, not feelings. Feelings change, but choices can last a lifetime if you're committed to do so. I have every confidence that our marriage will be to death do us part. I also have every confidence that we will, at times, wish that death to come sooner rather than later. And other times when we remember all the reasons we're glad to be together.
(And I wouldn't say psychotic - I'd say sensitive. And my outside male friends, even the ones that would rather die than see a therapist, are not really any different. I figure I have good taste in friends.)
As to the meds, there should never have any doubts that serotonin and norepinephrine can cause severe agitation in susceptible individuals. I myself became suicidal on Wellbutrin, as I can't take even the tiniest bit of norepinephrine. Apparently I make plenty myself.
