Stress, WAW and life in general II

[AJM]

Thanks Coach. I'm trying to really decide here how to approach this. Part of me wants the distance. Part of me wants that intimacy. Part of me really doesn't like the person she is right now. I don't respect her very much. Some, but not much. If I wasn't married to her, I'm not sure I'd want to date her as the person she's become.

I don't have fear or insecurity any longer, Coach. I have numbness. I have a desire for an intimate relationship with my wife. I love her still, but I really cannot feel much any more. My emotions are too distant to understand them. They seem to have taken on a life of their own without me.

Just the same, thanks for that. I am leaning towards viewing this as a chance to get to know each other again, but not yet sure. I'm glad she wants to spend more time with the kids. I really am. I recognize that this is as much because she just cannot handle the pressure she's under and that sep might be what it takes for her to learn to deal with that pressure and for me to figure out what I really want from our relationship.

I'm struggling to figure some things out and it doesn't help that I have little feeling left.

I'll take your advice Coach. Thanks for offering it!
