Keeping my wife from walking out

[stilllookingup]

I don't have kids (yet) but I don't think what you told her was wrong. Taking the kids for an entire year seems little bit out of line, whatever her reason is.. My H and I always talked about that before and he was always on board with the idea of sending kids to my country for summers or for a couple of years.. but NOT when they are little, and not when they go like with one of us like escaping.

I agree with labug. Why don't you tell her your honest feelings?
Also the best thing I've been doing since D dropped is to trying to see things from my H's perspective - then I started seeing things I never did before just like how you are realizing now.

Forget about what you are going through just for a second, take a long walk alone and think hard what your wife went through this marriage. And then tell her honestly how you feel.
