It does help thank you.
I am not giving up either. Mostly for my children. My wife has some childhood issues that have surfaced as the kids reach milestones and I think they have had a role in this whole crisis.
I am not saying that I am not at fault. I neglected my marriage and did not have the communication skills necessary to diffuse arguments and be empathetic to her. But, I have changed and I am changing and I am ready to do whatever it takes. She knows this and still does not want to work on the marriage. My dad told me today that when the chemistry is gone, reason is irrelevant. She will find ways to justify her actions because she does not want to be responsible for the failure of the marriage. I know I have resentment because she is blaming me for everything and yet says she does not hate me. She says that I am acting crazy and she is afraid of what I will do from one day to the next.
I do not understand what she is afraid of.
I feel like Forest Gump with Jenny. I have to let her make her mistakes and wait for her to come back.
