Hi, This will sound like i am a crazy,wierd person but the only reason i am posting to you is (the first sentence in your post) Explanation :i have a thing with the numbers 123.I see them everywhere,my aunt died in that room # and my sister has this thing with #123 also. -That out of the way, i feel i need to post to you because of that. _I feel that you know your Marriage is in a place that you could start having problems and you have come to the realization that you want to keep your spouse and fix the R. -I hope that you have caught it in time before problems,if so that is great on your part.It should be easier.When my M had problems i didn't read into in time,and my H had an Affair. -I think being human it is only normal that we all get a little tired of our spouse,and we need our own space also. -Why doesn't your spouse trust you? You need to address that issue. -Why do you feel like a step-wife?What does he do that makes you feel that way? Or do you have feelings of not being capable?Do you have low self-esteem? -Is it possible you are both going through MLC? I think that you need to realize that you are a wonderful person and work on yourself.Why would you want to move out of your bedroom w/your spouse if he hasn't cheated on you,and it sounds like he is in counseling and trying? You just sound lonely and MLC to me.These forums will give you good advice and i pray it works for you.Sorry if i freaked you out in the beginning,i am a pretty normal girl,just have some intuition. God Bless,K
