My wife said she has no respect or love for me anymore because of the way I have treated her over the years. She does not know how she put up with me for all these years. She does not want to talk to me unless it is about the children and that is all.
I feel pretty down with this damning verdict and reteric, what do I need to do, and can anyone see any way of reconcilling ever?
Don't believe anything she says right now, especially stuff like this. I have heard a lot of stuff like this. We all have. Our wives are so wrapped up in pain and anger, and they are having to process these TONS of emotions. Have you ever said something that you did not mean, because you were pissed off and/or hurt? I have. Lots of things. Don't believe anything she says right now. I know it hurts bad to hear the stuff coming out of her mouth. Then don't talk to her about anything right now except the kids...and only then if you have to. I know it's hard. Do it. there's always hope. Many people have reconciled after much worse situations than yours. We've got to work on ourselves first and foremost. We don't have any control over our spouses. Work on ourselves to become better men, fathers, and husbands...regardless. Read, study, learn.
