My wife of 15 years is being treated for childhood PTSD finally. Part of that is "not bottling feelings up".
Problem:she dumps all sorts of super selfish, shallow complaintd on me now under the "no bottling" premise. e.g, she's unhappy with her Christmas presents, she wants better jewelery, etc. She is fully aware of how terrible these statements are.
I want to support her therapy as it is making a big difference in her, but she is a lazy, morbidly obese, housewife that does minimal cleaning and childcare and spends 80% of her time either asleep or playing on her phone.
Should I be gracious through the PTSD treatment process or should I unbottle too? It isn't healthy for me to keep pretending that Im attracted to her refrigerator figure or that I respect the way she is wasting her life.
How long does PTSD treatment take?

therapy doesnt work. if you want real results take antidepressents and take each one of them till you find one that works for you. thats what im doing and its a life saver. also your behavior can sometimes last even when youre off them.

Seconding this. Tell her to stop using PTSD as an excuse to be a shitcunt and pull her weight.

"not bottling feelings up" doesn't mean they have a license to treat you like shit. Either divorce her or wait until she has a fast approaching heart attack. No guarantee the treatment is going to work and doesn't sound like it's doing much. In fact sounds like she is worse on top of all the other bullshit she's pulling.

The treatment doesn't sound too bad, the whale just misunderstand "talk about your feelings instead of suppressing them" with "try your best to bitch about everything"

Tell her to stop using her "ptsd" as an excuse to be a cunt. I have ptsd and it pisses me off when people say they have it just to feel like special snowflakes. If I were you, I'd just leave tbqh.

Dear op, yes go to therapy with her and tell the doc they are wrecking a house hold. Get the fatty in church and gym, women need religion. They are much better people when they have souls. If she is on ssri get her off of slowly. Look up the dangers of ssri. Tell her to forgive what ever is bothering her. Good luck you seem like a good husband.

If you don't have kids together, lawyer up and get to work on that divorce ASAP. It sounds like you hate pretty much everything about her (not that I can blame you) and that situation isn't going to magically become "healthy" if you bring your hatred to the surface. Just leave her.
