<p>Summary:<br><br>
</p>
<div>First sentence of the second paragraph reads:&nbsp; &quot;<font size="3"><strong><u>&#39;I&#39;m on <em>antidepressants</em> and have told my wife that I&#39;m thinking about leaving.&quot;<br /><br /></u></strong>SSRI Stories note:&nbsp; One of the <strong>most often cited problems</strong> as told to SSRI Stories is that of a spouse<strong> asking for a divorce</strong> shortly after starting an SSRI or SNRI antidepressant.&nbsp; <br /><br /><br /><br /></font><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2010/apr/29/private-lives-next-weeks-problem">http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2010/apr/29/private-lives-next-weeks-problem</a> <br /><br /><h1><strong>I might leave my wife for a woman with whom I&#39;ve become infatuated</strong></h1><font size="3">Post your advice below. The best responses will be published in G2 next Friday<br /><br />I&#39;m 29 and have been with my wife for 10 years. We got married last year. Just before Christmas I met a girl on a night out. I ended up at her flat and we kissed. I couldn&#39;t get her out of my mind and tracked her down. We agreed to be friends, but met and kissed again. Eventually we had sex. I was in constant contact with her for around four months. She&#39;s 24, is getting married herself and has cut off contact. I think I&#39;ve fallen in love with her.<br /><br />I&#39;m on antidepressants and have told my wife that I&#39;m thinking about leaving. She loves me deeply but has seen what I&#39;ve been through. I don&#39;t want to hurt my wife but it feels wrong to be with her when I want to be with someone else. If I leave her I&#39;ll be single, but really all I want is to be with the other woman. What should I do?<br /><br /><em>&bull; If you would like to respond to this week&#39;s problem, please post your comment below.<br /><br />When leaving a message on this page, please be sensitive to the fact that you are responding to a real person in the grip of a real-life dilemma, who wrote to Private Lives asking for help, and may well view your comments here.
