When she told me last week that she wanted to slowly work on the R, I answered with, "the relationship must stop because I do not deserve to be in competition for her". She was unable to commit then.



that's because your response was unattractive. your wife doesn't want a man who "deserves" something, she wants a man that will fight, work and stand up for what he believes in.

she is living selfishly so that she can experience things which she has wanted to do


because she is looking out for herself, she needs a strong, wise and commited partner. she doesn't have one so she is looking for one.

We will see if she is able to commit once she has spent the weekend away from her family doing something selfish.


If you stand by meekly she won't be commiting to you. Put yourself in your wifes shoes, what would you think of your wife if she acted the way you are?

Retain faith that you will prevail in the end, regardless of the difficulties and at the same time confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be.
