Sounds great. Can you talk to that counselor about some of your other issues? Jealousy is a form of insecurity and CAN be a means of control. What's that all about? Have you explored it?


During that time during panic attacks as she was growing more independent I became very controlling and jealous. She also couldn't understand panic attacks because I am so strong minded.

What does this^^^ Mean?



She also appears to be going thru Mid-Life crisis. We went through 8-10 years of growing apart.


Maybe you are leaving out parts of the story, but to me it just Sounds more like a natural byproduct of her needs being unmet for so long.

But it doesn't matter much - b/c YOUR course of action remains the same. Work on you.


Now I am trying to find out who I am and to be happy in my own skin.


I don't mean to minimize this^^, but frankly, it sounds a lot more like a MLC....what are you talking about?

I have 2 wonderful kids who are beginning to pick up that my wife and I are having issues. My wife will disappear for hours, will not take there phone calls a great number of times. My D, age 17 has asked my W on many occasions where she has been and why won't she take her calls, etc....
