25,

Just to clarify for all, by "love" I mean "in love". I'm sure she may love him in some way, but the "in love" or "sexual love" isn't there. Thats not to say that it cannot be recovered as I and others on here (you too!) are testament that "in love" feelings CAN return. Therefore, I don't think it's over if she doesn't love him now.

Unfortunately, the OP is making mistakes that are going to seal his fate.... Perhaps you and some of the other patient vets on here can help him pull this one out of the steep dive that it's in.

I also agree with you (as Starsky said- thanks smile ) that he must work on himself. In fact he needs to BIG TIME. Trying to control and cajole his wife will get him nowhere.
