I had three major issue3: (1)not employed full-time, (2)not paying enough attention to wife's needs, (3)intimacy issue.
I think I fixed the first one (I should know by tomorrow). Since W is distancing herself from me it is hard to work on the other 2.
Employment 180: I was looking for work in a couple of fields that suited my education and skill set. I found nothing, but kept doing more of the same. I changed it up and it looks like I am about to start a new job in a different industry (if my last interview today goes well).. In fact in April I will have two jobs because I teach night classes at community college.
My wife and I were best friends just a few weeks ago and now we are seemingly growing further and further apart. I would love to take all the things that were right and begin there to construct a new and better relationship. But she has a deposit down on a new home and is set to move out in a few weeks and she rarely stays in the house with me now. (she is able to stay at her work but really don't know where she is staying) I feel like I just have to let her go and see what else is out there before she will even possibly come back. That in and of itself may cause too much damage to repair the relationship.
I am trying to be patient because I know this is a marathon but part of me feels like hanging onto hope is causing me too much anxiety. Because we have no kids together it may be easier to just let go and move on.
Thank you for your reply.
