I thought that the emptiness I felt was normal and that every marriage goes through it. My wife started telling me a while back that she didn't like the way she was feeling. She said she had been there before (in her first marriage) and she knew it wouldn't end well. I just took it as more complaining (which I had learned to tune out) and told her that it's just a phase in our marriage and that it's normal to be in a routine. As long as I keep my head down and be quiet things will be ok I said to myself. My wife initially left because she thought I had an A, although she had been slowly moving towards leaving for like 6 months.
