Default Re: When to give up...pls help!!!

It troubles me that he's not willing to take the time to hear or understand where you are coming from.

What bothers me even more is that you didn't have anything for you. Do you play an instrument? Volunteer? Work? Perhaps that is why you were feeling unhappy, that and the fact that the two of you weren't REALLY communicating.

Be patient, don't keep calling; it will be worse (and you'll seem even less supportive and strong) if you call and seem too desperate and needy. Go see a counselor on your own; I don't believe that a speedy divorce filing will help you, you've only been married 10 months!

If you aren't ready to throw in the towel, take some time to work on you. Then write, or visit and explain that you want to 'take care of some business'. Perhaps that may open the door to a constructive conversation that is free of emotional turmoil. You will be clearer, more level-headed and you can state your position (whether you'd like to date him again, etc) and take it slow. By then, you'll be able to handle it better if the two of you decide you really are done; you'll be a stronger person at that point.

It sounds like he's not listening and that he is hurt that you left. Try to understand that because he's hurt, he's showing anger towards you.
