I've tried that and it always ends with her crying and telling me how much she needs me in her life as a friend. Truth be known, as a friend I like having her in my life. However, as lovers we are just not compatible and neither of us share the same goals in life.

She wants to be rich and never have to worry about anything.... I want to be happy living as an addictions counselor and help people. My path is not towards physical riches but more spiritual wealth and mental happiness. She I don't think knows what happiness truly is, she's scared to let herself be happy.

She once said to me, "even when I am happy I know my depression is right around the corner." She's bipolar and as with many bi-polars she is comfortable with pain and suffering and knowing happiness just ends in sadness. I see sadness as usually ending with happiness.

She's being treated and has made great strives since we were married but still lives with that mentality.
