Hi, I really don't know where to turn. My wife and I were married going on six years ago. The first two years of marriage were fantastic. My Wife was working and I was retired and she went to a four day week ten hour day work schedule to have a three day week end. With travel time she was working a twelve hour day. Our marriage started to slide in the negative direction. I pleaded with her to get off the four tens and told her the long hours were for young people. She didn't budge. Our marriage struggled along for three more years and then she retired ar sixty two years of age. I was thinking that things would get good again. It wasn't long we found out her thyroid was bad and had to be totally removed. Now I realize it probably wasn't the long hours that caused our problem but was her thyroid. Since she had it removed it has only gotten worse. Her attitude toward me is horrendous. She can go hours without speaking to me or if she does it is alway very negative or grumpy. My best times are when she is gone away from me and I don't have to deal with her monster
behavior. If company comes to our house or if we are out in the public you would think we were Ozzie and Harriet with a perfect marriage. As soon as we are out of that environment she instantly reverts back to her terrible behavior.
My questions are;
1- is this normal for someone to be moody like this after they remove their thyroid?
2- what can we do to help get this fixed? Or is this forever?
3-where can I get support to deal with this?
Thanks
Bob
