    Benefit of the doubt here, but it could be that she was off medication or undiagnosed for something during their time together. There’s not a lot to go on

      Divorcing my husband certainly allowed me to take the time to go on and be diagnosed.

      Turns out having a man downplay your symptoms, call you a hypochondriac, and tell you that you can just force yourself to not be depressed is a real detriment to a healthy life.

      So yeah. There’s not a lot to go on here. We could all project our own stories onto it give or take.

      But I do think most of us as women recognize that the subjugation of our sex over time has set up this type of scenario time and time again. To gain freedom after being in a relationship that drains you is not even a gender specific feeling, I think women generally experience it on a different level.
