Of course you know not to pursue with those statements at this time. However, if you should lose your mind and blurt that again.....never apologize for it. In that type of pursuit, it makes you look weak to turn around and apologize.

((hugs))

Sandi's right. NEVER apologize if that comes up again. It's putting down your own feelings for hers. It gives her the power. It shows her that she has power over even how you feel.

"I am just dying here a slow death."

The more you keep thinking this way, the more you're more likely to fail. Stop that kind of thinking. Your happiness does not revolve around her. Once you learn that and can detach, you'll be much more poised to know what to do next.

I just had a bad day yesterday and things were discussed last night. Even though nothing changed as far as our situation we had a very good talk. She actually got off the laptop and talked with me. She had a few moments were she got heated but stayed to continue talking about things. She had a moment were she stood up and said "I am done" but ended up sitting back down to talk more.

We went to bed civily and this morning was normal as well.

Okay, so that would be a good place for you to stop with the R talks. It might feel better at the time....or it could make things worse b/c of her closed heart. If she approaches you and wants to talk, then listen to what she has to say and try not to add anything. Tough order!

One reason your beautiful W is driving you crazy is b/c you feel you are losing her. There is something precious you once had available and were free to express how you felt. Now, you see it slipping away and that simply makes you want her more than ever. It's normal for people to feel what you are experiencing.

Wow Sandi2

I see and have recognized alot of what your telling me for some time now. I feel obligated to apologize for my lackl of will power even though the advice has been great. I am leaving for 2 weeks this weekend so maybe that will help both of us settle down for a while. I am heading back to the states to visit my parents.

Well I have been away from wife and kids for 6 days. I miss them but I am starting to see a gap between my wife and I. I still want her but being around family is making me feel love that wife refuses to give me anymore. What should I do?
