I am 37 and my wife is 38. We have been together for 8 years since 're- kindling our romance and will have been married for 5 years next Friday. We have 3 kids one 11yo daughter from her 1st marriage ( she was married for almost 2 years) and two boys 7 and 4yo. My wife separated from me 6/1/15, living in the same house and different beds (couch for me) ever since. I have toiled around and tried to win my wife back by breaking every one of Sandi's 37 rules, steadily pushing her away. The initial reason for her leaving me was because she accused me of cheating on her (not true) however through the last few months the rationale has shifted to the immense void and unhappiness that we had and how she fell out of love with me. She has been going through a quasi MLC and has recently talked about us living apart, which terrifies me. I feel like I have lost her respect and have no idea how to regain it. My kids break my heart and I would do anything to have the marriage that I deserve and be able to give them the family that they deserve. I'm not very hopeful but I guess it's worth a shot.
