Never physical with her ever. Over the last 2 years we have had petty arguments and got over them. She started college online and works full time still, and didn't have lots of free time. Looking back, I definitely should have been more supportive around the house, complimented her more, etc. We went on a cruise in November 2012 and had a blast. We did get into an argument after where I told her that I wished we had a little more "us" time on the cruise instead of spending all seven days with her brother and friend. I started to really notice her behaving distant after the cruise and all through the month of December. I did find out that she had been speaking to a guy that I have only known for a few months, and is in a relationship, about our problems. She told him that she was willing to go to counseling, amongst other things, and there were even a few lines of sexual innuendos between them. That hurt me alot. It hurt because she was confiding in another man instead of with me. On the 26th of December, she came home from an early dinner and went to the livingroom. She sat on her usual side of the couch away from me, and basically ignored me most of the evening like she had been doing. I tried to "talk" to her, and couldn't get anything. I was so frustrated, hurt, and angry that I kept pushing her for what the problem was and what she wanted/needed. She told me that she cared for me as a person. She didnt say ILYBINILWY or that she didnt love me. I don't remember what else I said, but in anger she said that she was "done" and that she had tried for 2 years to make things work with us. I lost my cool and out of pure pain/hurt I punched the wall above the fireplace several times as hard as I could, and fell to the floor in tears due to her words. I asked her why she couldnt just forgive my mistakes and work things out together. She packed the next day, and moved to her parents. I have only been in physical contact with her once when she came over on 1-5-13 to give my kids their late Xmas presents.
