COnsidering Seperation

I have been with my wife for 10 years, married 8. I dont feel a strong bond between us anymore, I look at her and dont feel like teling her she is pretty etc. I love her and dont want to hurt her, but I dont offer her the affection that she wants. We have one child. It would hurt her so bad if I left her. I would leave her the house and pay child support. I have no idea how much child support I will pay or if i wil lhave to pay any allemony. i make about 40,000 a year and she makes about 30,000 a year. Things are good most of the time, I just know in my heart that I dont love her fully, and i am afraid that if we coexist for the kids or for convienance that in the longrun we will waste each other's time.

Someone very wise once said: "If you want to know the priorities of someone's heart, just count the 'I's' and 'My's' in their speech."

If you re-read what you wrote, you will see that you used I/my some 15 times in 8 short sentences. I know your heart must be hurting - the pain is so clear in your post. Please consider stepping up the the plate as the leader of your home and see if you are in any way able to turn your relationship around. Women NEED to feel beautiful. If we don't, we begin to wither. That's why it is said that there's never a more beautiful woman than a woman who is loved/and is in love. You are able to do that for her (and you) if you are up to the challenge. It will be tough, but the alternative route is SO much tougher! The mystery of a marriage union is that when the bad times come, you have your companion to help with the burden, so the bad times aren't so bad. At the same time, when times are joyful, you have your companion to share in the joys so the joy is magnified! Half the sorrow, twice the joy - how wonderful!

Things can be wonderful again. Try, if you can, to remember your early and exhilarating days when you fell in love. Your love can be strong again - stronger even! Please try - if you are successful, you have to admit that it would be better for everyone involved than if you were to bust up your union (or emotionally "check out").

Take the time and energy you are surely devoting to finding ways out and, instead, devote it to learning what it takes for you to make your wife feel beautiful and cherished. Please try this. Just try and see what happens.

Wishing you all the best and lots of love!
