Missherlove I do appreciate your comments and agree with you. My wife walked away from me and refused to try to work things out and get help. My wife has always feared what people think. She is a private person and does not like to discuss things regarding our personal lives.She has always worried about what people think of her. In truth, I have never heard a bad comment about her from friends and family. I on the other hand do talk to people and since I could not get through to her I needed to speak to family and friends. My wife has to figure it out. She must see that all of the problems were not just mine. This separation has been going on for a very long time. I got tired of being alone and ignored and not felt loved. My wife made a comment that perhaps she should start dating and having an affair. Quite honestly she told me multiple times over the last two years and longer to understand we were separated and no longer married. I have been devastated by all this that has gone on. She calls constantly now and always says the same thing that too much has happened and she could not face people. Quite frankly, my family and friends have always loved and respected my wife.They would like nothing more than for us to be together. I would take my wife back but only if she and I entered individual counseling and then couple counseling. I will wait and listen and see what happens. Thanks. Bobby O
