I'm at work so my response won't be as detailed as I'd like.
I'll start thinking about our relationship (we've been together for almost 12 years, married for almost 9)and start to think about the other people and couples I see and analyze how they act compared to us. The problems start when I begin obsessing and then the thoughts spiral out of control. I read a post above about how "alexandra"'s partner gave her a house, car, pets, money, etc. and then I looked at my life. My spouse makes much more money than I do, he pays the mortgage and all the household bills. At times I've felt like he's a parent since I went from living with my parents to living with him. All of these thoughts spiraling out of control make me depressed and the thoughts continue coming fast and furious. My search for answers about love usually only comes up when I'm obsessing and depressed.
Any response or input would be greatly appreciated.
