Wow, thanks all. We both agreed that we had a great M and R together. Our kids are great. Even the disagreement that we had the week before the bomb she told me "please lets not do this (fight), things have been going so great... please". I left for my 3 day biz trip, came back and things were very strange. We texted back and forth and next thing I knew I got the "why don't we separate text". She definitely has not been the same wife I have always enjoyed for about the last year. Last August we had a disagreement and she seemed very impatient and short with it. We ended up in counseling for a couple weeks and got back together. After that she had a very continued stressful year. She had a bad gallbladder emergency surgery with a large scar, our daughter had many serious issues, concussions, stomach infections, tonsils infected and removed... lots of stress for my wife all year and then this. I found out she has been taking anti depressants/anxiety pills for at least the last year. Also, she is at the pre-menopause years (45).

She sent me a nice "sorry" email about 3 weeks before the bomb as well saying how sorry she was for neglecting me lately, how she was so wrapped up with he issues and daughters issues and that she felt bad and would make it up to me. Of course, I told her that is what I am there for, to back her up when she needs me. She really appreciated that.

I just want my old loving wife back. I will do anything.
