Phil, I see what is wrong... But I honestly believe that acting needy and desperate is very unattractive, it adds pressure to the situation, which in turn makes things even worse. I know that to you, getting those texts were a way of keeping the emotional connection going, but they weren't healthy and left you chomping at the bit for more. She told you that she wants her space, so why not give her what she wants? Let her stew in her own juices.. Make arrangments for the kids, but keep it along the lines of a business arrangement. Honey, you gotta get it into your head you are a strong confident Man, who wants his family back together, not someone who is willing to settle for the scraps being thrown at him.
There can be no testimony without a test. I am praying to go through this test and come out the other end with a new and better marriage then before.
