Got a buddy who claims his relationship is so much harder than everyone else's BC his wife has depression, anxiety, and is ocd or something. Tell him to quit bitching or tell him to seek help?

All 3 are pretty serious alone much less all 3 together.

I think the Catholics will let you return her if you didn't know. But if you did, the sale is final.

I doubt it...they're all normal in the beginning right? I think he maybe looking for a reason to bail...who knows he says shes really hard to get along with and they've been married like 15 yrs or so.

Aren't all three of those things clinically diagnosable?

Crazy thought... you should really get to know someone if you think about entering into a lifelong relationship. I highly doubt such issues just magically surfaced. Then again, it takes two to tango, maybe your pal is part of the problem.

No, get to know someone before you marry a fricking psycho.

I have no idea what's going on in the OP's friend's case but you do realize people do change and there are habits/disorders that can be masked or hidden and then enhanced when something actually does happen.

I have a hard time believing that someone that actually has depression, anxiety, and OCD can totally hide that(assuming she actually has that and he/she isn't just diagnosing on their own)



Something in her behavior would have clued him in early on if he was paying enough attention to it.
