My W was only caring in the very beginning of our relationship. No need to ask what changed because I don’t know the answer to that. From her perspective there was little value in me. She didn’t appreciate me and was very cold. Yes, these are things that are out of my control. I ask myself, if she ever wanted to work on reconciliation would I take her back? Probably.
I want to keep my family together and I don’t think the grass is greener on the other side. I think marriages are challenging regardless of who your with. I don’t have a choice right now however if we ever reconciled I highly doubt W would make the changes that I would like to see.
