About a year and a half ago she asked for space so I left for a month. When I got back she agreed to try and work things out. Neither one of us knew how to fix our marriage and we did not get help. I guess we thought we could figure it out on our own. Plus really didn't have the money. That was a mistake! I travel a lot for work so I can see how she feels like she has already bee a single mom to some extent. I typically travel 2-3 days a week. Home Monday, Friday and the weekends. Kids are 10 and 12 and very active in sports and music. No affair in the past but our sex life died a few years ago. I know both of us have not been happy but I didn't know what to do or who to go to until the bomb dropped last month! Now I understand a lot of what I have done wrong in our relationship and also understand I need guidance on how to become a better person. She always told me that I only thought about myself. I didn't see it until now! She is right I have been selfish to her and the kids. Not mean or hurtful just never gave 100%. That part is my fault.
