I have been engaged to a woman for over 1 year. Each of us has a psychiatric history. Ever since, my fiance's depressive symptoms have deepened. Yet at the same time she insists on having a child with me (she's 43 years old and we've begun to do artificial insemination. Of course, "insist" is the wrong word. It takes two to tango). Now, she refuses to marry me unless and untill she becomes pregnant. Furthermore, she's told me that if and when she becomes pregnant she will return to Europe, to her family, and give birth there. She will also raise the child with her family in Europe. Additionally, she refuses to share any of our expenses. I pay the rent; I pay for the car; I pay for the groceries; etc. I've convinced her to finally start seeing a clinical psychologist and she'll be seeing a psychiatrist soon for medication. But I don't know how much longer I can put with this. She sometimes refuses to respond to me when I speak with with her. She sometimes is oblivious of me. I turn into into an object, at times, I'm with her.
Has anyone experience anything similar to what I'm experiencing? Comments will be appreciated.
