We are still new at marriage 6yrs but yesterday my wife told me she wants a divorse. Now im not perfect in the past I've made mistakes and for a while lived in my own little world where i covered my acts with a lie over lies wich made me loose her trust for a while. Not so log i had bursitis and since then I've had bad luck with work. She is the one providing now while i take care of our 3yr old girl. Shes always complained about me not stepping up, not being the supportive husband nor the provider (i worked in construction) and she needs someone who will take charge. Ive actually tried taking charge but she does the opposite. Maybe im not putting my foot down the right way. I love her and would hate to let them go. Any suggestions?
You can tell her that you want to try marriage counselling before you will consent to a divorce? It might be that she is not willing to do that but it might be worth a shot.
I personally think she is being somewhat unreasonable if you have a legitimate health reason for not working. Also looking after a 3 year old IS work!
Can you change your career? If your physical health is going to stop you from working in construction perhaps you need to retrain.
Next step would be to read Married Man Sex Life Primer and start upping your sex rank.
Of course, if she is having an affair then you need do things completely different...get yourself over to the Coping with Infidelity board, start reading and get a complete picture of what you are dealing with.
