Hi Kev.

Sorry you’re here, but you’ve come to the right place.

Your wife sounds incredibly manipulative. The constant blocking and unblocking, the tattoo removal, the social media games… these are all things she is doing with intent.

How sure are you that you want to be with this woman? A lot of your overwhelming feelings of wanting her back is because you’re grieving. Grieving what you thought was real, grieving who you thought you were married to. That grief and loss makes men get very desperate to save the marriage because it’s what you know and where you’re comfortable.

Imagine you were someone outside looking in. Would you recommend to a best friend to try and win back a woman treating him like she’s treating you?

Your first post was a hard read. She’s clearly garden variety mid-life-crisis and menopausal, and that generally lasts 5-8 years. The chances she snaps out of it quickly are very slim. And there’s NOTHING you can do to speed up that process.

Are you prepared to wait 8 years to see if she gets it all out of her system and wakes up as to how immature she’s being?

Are you seeing a personal psychologist? That’s a must. They’ll help you build a shield to her behaviour.

How much are you exercising atm?
