Default Re: my wifes needs...

I would like to add my 2 cents....you can't afford dinner out or counseling but can you afford a divorce attorney? Seriously, counseling since u said you both have discussed it is your best viable option, I think there is more to what your wife is saying, don't jump to the affair inclusion, but more of a discionnected, not feeling like friends or lovers and instead like roommates conclusion, and that takes a while to change. First I hat when people use the not in love with you phrase because often the feeling of in love people attribute to the early relationship infactuation feelings,which wears off in every relationship and deeper love grows. I would not do movie night, what you need is to talk, reconnect emotionally and physically, be friends again,have fun again, do things without having to be asked, treat her like you did when you were dating, say thank you for things and mean it. Her initial telling you, you should have started asking questions then, but you didn't however it is not too late, yes she maybe angry, but often anger is masked hurt, it's easier to express anger and resentment than hurt. Talk to her. Stay p late light some candles and just talk again like when ou were first dating, maybe you can get the answers find wha she wants, tell her wha you want, avoid the counselor and make your wife fall for you again. I found an interesting article on here somewhere about the stages of relationships that talks about this very thing,the need to keep love, mostly passion strong, and that it takes effort...much like ensuring a candle has enough wick to keep buring.
