Thanks Truegritter,

I agree, because I know it is very difficult. I'm trying to do the opposite of what I feel - and that's very hard for me.

Also, I struggle because I want her to solidify her thoughts - not simply have these feelings. It's not just me and her. We have 3 children and lots of responsibilities.

I honestly believe at this point there are 2 "real" issues in our M. Her feeling that she doesn't love me, and the interference of my parents in our M.

Like I said we had a good convo last night, intiated by her. I did my best to validate. Obviously I had to let her know that there isn't anyone else - I'm not dating - I'm not exploring my escape options!!

I'm am working on detaching, trying to "force" or convince myself that I can be happy without "this" woman. Some days I really believe it and other days I panic and my emotions takeover.

Taking the kids swimming tonight, hockey tomorrow night. GAL, and another IC appointment next week.

Thanks again for your helping.
