I read the article on the walk away wife syndrome and it fits my situation to a T.
My wife and I have been married just over 13 years now with 2 children, 6 and 9. We recently went through a major financial crisis where my business failed, my wife had to return to work, and we lost our home and were near bankruptcy.
We were working our way through it, re-building from the financial ruin little by little, looking forward to establishing a simpler life. Over the last year she had been telling me how unhappy she's been in every area of her life. I re-assured her we were re-building, and it wouldn't stay this way forever.
Around Halloween, she told me she was only staying with me for the kids. She was empty inside, closed down completely emotionally. No longer "in" love.
Through counseling, I was able to recognize where she had been trying to fix the marriage years ago ... and ... as the syndrome goes, started closing down. The financial crisis brought everything to a head.
She's talking separation now. I am reading the Divorce Remedy and trying to hang on. Is there any advice anyone has ... or can anyone point me to success stories where the waw has been won back? I don't want to lose my bride of 13 years and the family God has so richly blessed me with.
