Sorry for not checking back in. Hadn't been much change one way or the other until lately - my wife today said she thinks we need to try a separation with me moving out for a period of time. She says she has read that it has helped a lot of couples reconnect. My wife says she is tired of the heavy feeling around the house. I said we haven't been openly talking and that's part of the problem - that we should talk about how we are feeling and get it out there. I don't know what to do anymore. Our financial issues aren't helping matters and she blames me for not looking hard enough for a higher paying job - there is an argument against her on this as she has been working extremely part-time for years but there is not point in arguing about it at this point so I didn't. She just seems so far removed from me - just seems to be too much for her to get past and I guess living together makes it even harder. For me I'm willing to work at it but she says she's just done. Will try and talk with her tonight after work but it's not looking good. I'm pretty upset right now. Maybe if she gets it all out when we talk and I just provide some acknowledgement and validation it may make her feel better. Problem is it just seems to confirm what she feels and I can see her position of power growing over me. She knows I care and don't want to separate. Feeling overwhelmed!
