Hello,
My name is Alex. I am a computer programmer/software engineer. I am 16 years old and physically you'd say I look completely healthy. Also, I'm pretty much an "A" student and people would call me clever.

Just ended a very close friendship of 3 years with a lady 2 months ago, Her actions and words have left me completely shocked, it was so ridiculous to a point that I found it hilarious and laughable at the time.

I can’t stand it anymore. My wife is diagnosed with bi-polar type two. It is hard living with her. I feel like I am constantly pushing her to get better and she is always resisting me.

My biggest problem as of late is that she is refusing more and more to go to work. We have bills and mortgage, and she refuses to go to work. I am ok with her not going to work ...
