Warning Long post.

Since that time, i have made all the mistakes. You know what i'm talking about - try to hard, plead, do nice things, gifts.

Im stopping all that now. Hopefully its not too late to do a complete 180 and quite possibly LRT.

My question is, is LRT appropriate for my case? My wife feels i have neglected her as i am hardly home. Full time job and side business running a gym, so alot of nights i was not at home. Intimacy started to wane 6-8 months ago which is entirely my fault.

She had an injury that caused her to no be able to do her hobbies, she was an avid gym going, a regular at my gym in fact so we spent time togther quite a bit. Then she hurt her knees 6 months ago. Instead of being home with her i was running my gym, i even put in more nights there as we were struggling alittle. This i feel proved my undoing, i think she fell into a depression and i was not there for her cause i was a typical guy / oblivious husband.

Fast forward to 5 weeks ago at my prompting she finally admitted she had no feelings for me. I did not take it well ~ i may have said some things. After that it was like a complete flip of the switch, no intimacy whatsoever. Before she admitted it we were still going through the motions kiss before work, hug to sleep etc but now nothing.

Yesterday, she was not wearing her ring. This hurt. Alot.

Shes not having an affair yet although she has mentioned that she wants to move on and that shes not getting any younger. She wants to find happiness.I know she likes someone in her office but he is also married with two kids. I believe its more of a crush than an actual affair.

In my case a 180 for me would be to be more present, attentive and there for her but shes is adamant she is done. Is LRT really the way to go as this would seem the same behaviour as what got me here in the first place.
