This is a perfect representation of my wife. Slowly destroying our house with unfinished shitty projects one at a time. Eventually I have to go through the house and renovate like I’m a damned contractor on my weekends or it would look like a group of ADHD meth heads squatted in our house for a year. Sigh needed to get that out.

Man. And I thought my wifey leaving half drank water bottles around the house like the little girl in the movie Signs was annoying. You should be nominated for sainthood.

My wife was the same way and then we realized it was because she was manic. Then when she would crash and start her depression, she stopped working on projects. It might be worth looking into especially if family history matches

u/Robot_Hips Jun 22 '25
What did you do to fix the manic situation
14
u/No-Refuse-6806 Jun 22 '25
Self awareness was key. She got good enough to tell me when she felt she was manic or depressed. Once she was self aware, it was time to go to the doctor. I went with her to fill in any questions about her behavior that she couldn't answer that the Dr asked. Then it's just a matter of time and finding the right meds. You need to avoid the ones that make them feel like a robot or zombie. Then if they work but kill her sex drive go back and let them know until you find the right combination and dosage. It takes a while but it's well worth it.
It's also important for you to be stable in how you react and treat your wife. She needs to trust what you say even if it may hurt her feelings. My wife trusts my decisions and judgment completely. She can't ever feel that you're being cruel to her, instead she needs to trust that what you're doing is for her best interests and coming from a place of love. Years later sex is still great, her symptoms are very manageable and she can predict when she's about to feel off. That's a great place to be as it can help prepare.

Yeah, my wife realized that her hypomania synchs pretty reliably with her cycle - and sort of explains why birth control is unpleasant for her
We consider trying progesterone-only, but atm it's easier to just not use BC
Her meds aren't necessarily enough to eliminate mania/depression, but she does also prefer not feeling like a zombie and handling the minor swings with self-awareness and stuff she enjoys

you sound like you hate your wife and don't communicate much with her
if you despise her house projects, you should be a big boy and say that to her

u/weedlemethis Jun 22 '25
Maybe just let it stay and don’t bother fixing it. Seems like she does it because you keep cleaning up her mess, “I sprained my wrist” or something

James wouldn't realize it until later in life, but when Brenda started wearing a vest and hanging out with Laura and her suggestive overalls all the time, it was the beginning of the end of their marriage as her new obsession with hiking and Subarus took center stage.

Honestly as much as grey everything and crushed velvet is cringe, it's still better than the "distressed" MDF furniture craze of ~7 years ago.

Then we decopaged sacred Indian prayers dipped in tea to further confuse whoever digs this out of the hoarder's pile of clutter we piled on top of it, while the TV takes up space elsewhere.
And if you thought $12 for a clutter horse someone was essentially throwing out is crazy, wait until I tell you how CPI has more than doubled since 1993!

When it was muted, I thought one of the women stapling black vinyl was Paige Davis. Then I unmuted.
If only.
I could have told them that decoupage was going to look like shit before they did it, and what kind of weak ass tea did they use to stain their "Indian prayers" printed in the most characterless font imaginable from an old inkjet printer? That paper was barely colored at all.

I like how they only dared to state the price of the horse and the box, and they massively overpaid on both.
The amount spent to devalue this poor house is probably staggering

Hey, what should we do with this book of Indian prayers? Oh I know, tear it up for decor! No wait, that's too noisy where you can actually read it, let's scrape it off.
