• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

I have just got married and we have been married for a week now. I have been a little ill and have been unable to sleep and a collapsed last night my husband must have carried me to bed. I have just woken up to find that he has slept in the spare room. I have been going to bed but not sleeping he has slept in the spare room now for three days and I am worried that I have done something wrong. I also recenntly discoverd that he had had a taxi waiting outside the church on our wedding day he said that it was because he was nervous but now I'm really worried. What should I do? :cry:

If you collapsed and your husband has not said anything to you, (like asked you what happened) it is not likely he is up for real communication. How old is he? Did he demonstrate maturity prior to marriage? Is he a christian? What is it you want from marriage?

Answer these questions for yourself, then ask yourself what you do next. In the meantime pray and seek God's Will, and we will pray for you.

I misunderstood I collapsed due to lack of sleep I hadn't slept in 6 days. And he hadn't slept next to me because of the fact that I had a virus. I have akos taken all of your advice and I have talked to him and he was really nervous and the taxi was there becaus ehe thought I wasn't going to turn up. Thank you alll very much for your advice and God bless you for trying to help me in my time of need!:thumbsup:

You are only just married. No matter how much prepearation you thought you had done the reality can still come as a horrific shock.
The best thing to do is leave the doors of communication wide open and take things at the speed you both need to go.

Not all married couples share a bed to sleep in because their sleep patterns differ so much. Lack of sleep eventually messes up peoples heads and makes them behave badly so sleeping apart when exhausted for a decent nights sleep is not so strange.

Your flag says your in the UK. If you have other concerns as you get to know each other as husband and wife have a look at the RELATE (note it IS a secular website) as this discusses common problems OR you can also contact Care for the Family they offer a huge range of resources
