I need advice ASAP before I loose my mind!

I am separated from my husband of almost two years for the 2 1/2 months. We have both agree reconciliation, but he has not attended any of the counseling sessions that I have scheudled for us. He seems ambivalent at the present and says he needs "space". How can I reconcile with a man who cannot return a phone call and has not spent but one hours time with me this entire month so far?

sounds redundant but I think you are the only one working toward a reconciliation. Take your power back and stop swimming against the current. Move on with your actions even if you cannot do it with your emotions yet. Your heart will follow if you lead it.

Move on. It hurts but actions speak louder than words. Concentrate on yourself and let him take care of whatever he is doing.

it sounds to me that if he was honestly wanting to work things out with you, then he would be at the counseling sessions with you and not making excuses. His actions are telling you a whole different story than his words are. I think that if he is not willing to come forth and work on things that you will get no where. It definetly takes two to work on the marriage. I wish you the best

I am a strong believer in actions speak louder than words.  The fact that he maybe talking the talk, but not walking the walk is very telling.  As cliche as it may sound it takes two to make or break a relationship.  You appear to be doing the work of two.  I would guess that "needing space" is code for another woman.  If I were you I would define a time line in your mind of how much longer you will accept this and if he has not stepped up then close the book and move on.  Life is too short to be with the wrong person ;)

I don't know if reconciliation is an option for you. He clearly does not want to do the work. It may feel wonderful to know that your lifetime partner wants to work things out; however, if he is acting like there is nothing to it and is not doing the work, I suggest you think about it more. Furthermore, I agree with AI1301. If he did it once...the likelyhood he will do it again is very high. I hope you make the best decision. I wish my husband reconsiders. It will definitely be awesome to experience after I begged and was rejected many many many times but at the same time I wish I didn't b/c it will be a difficult decision to make. The decision will impact your currect well being and your future.

I wish I can practice what I preach but stay strong. Don't let him see your weak side. Teach him the lesson he deserves. It takes two for a marriage to work and if he is not willing to do the work and move in and spend quality time with you...then nothing has changed and it will fail. I read the following in one of my many breakup books, In order for a relationship to work, the past relationship must end and a new relationship btw the couple must happen in order to work....otherwise, its doom to fail again. I wish you the best of luck.

Sorry Kid but it's over he has anoyher and theres little you can do about it.  Been there done that.  The reality is Moraity outside the home doesn't exsist.  Though we endevor to keep our voveles and commitment it takes two not one no matter what as you dran well remember.  Get a grip once he's done then he'll be back but I can tell you from experance they do it once they'll do it again......
