Hi Kitcat, if you read my thread you'll see I have those same feelings of being a neglectful wife. It's so hard to realized what we've done wrong and not be given a chance to fix it or discover it's too late. It sounds like you've been very honest with yourself about your shortcomings and you've worked to address them once you were aware of them. I guess that's all you can do, right? As well as follow the DB guidelines. If your husband still won't give the marriage another chance then maybe it will take more time. Maybe it will require a year or more for your husband to see your changes and for him to figure out what he wants. To me it sounds like there's still a lot of hope for you and your husband. You're still living together, talking, and maintaining some sort of normal life. I hope you can feel the hope and have the confidence to know it can work out for you and your husband!
