My wife's midlife crisis

[FaceMan]

Sjohns6. It is comforting to known the scipt is similar. It makes me feel like I’m not going crazy listening to her. I’ve managed to get away for a few days. I feel like a different person being detached from her drama. Also some physical distance really helps too. Becoming detached makes me feel like I’m not interested in her anymore. All the pain and hurt she has caused me when she doesn’t seem to care makes me feel like I should just move on myself. It hurts to feel that way.

I took some time to read another website. The blog about the emotional bomb drop. I could have written it myself. It was so expertly written and not only described what happened but also how it made me feel. I couldn’t have described it any better myself and it’s inspiring to know that if there is love, there is hope.

I can see how the downward spiral has developed in her mind. She is unhappy because she believes the marriage is making her unhappy because she feels no longer in love. She has withdrawn physically, emotionally and sexually. But that is still not enough. She needs to move out because she feels that that is the only way she can become happy. In her words, she needs to find herself and establish her own identity. Whatever, that means.

If there is love there is hope. There is lots of love, but only shown one way. I don’t have much hope.
