Wife of nine years left me and our children on Father's Day

I am at a total lost of what to do and I need some advice.  My wife of nine years left with our two children on Friday morning.  She left me a letter.

It only seems like she took just her bags and that's it and she is currently at her bother's house.

I have never cheated on her and I have been madly in love with her for nine years.  She left me because I was fired from my last job and I didn't have the guts to tell her so I lied and told her I got laid off.  She was afraid I would become depress and ruin our family. On the contrary I have not been depressed and find a job a priority for me.

She has ignored my emails and her family (my in-laws...I really thought they accepted me as fmaily) is ignoring me as well.  I had no idea I was doing anything wrong to warrant a seperation.

Every minute for me has been in total anguish and i feel alone.  We only had one car and she took that so more or less, I am sorta stuck between a rock and a hard place.

I miss her badly and I miss the children.  I haven't eaten in three days and slept for only a few hours or so.  I talked to her last night but it was very short. I begged her to see a counselor with me and she said it was too late more or less.

Do you think she'll come back? I need her. She's my soulmate.

i just don't understand how people can do things like this without notice.   it's true that they may have been thinking it for weeks, months or years...but shouldn't they at least tell you?  what is happening now? have you talked to her?

Wow,  I can feel your pain.  Hang in there and know you have a right to see your children.  She needs to learn to deal with her problems and not just run away from them. You are smart to suggest counseling, she needs to speak with someone to get all of this out in the open.  There has obviously been a communication break down between you two that you need to work on.  She feels betrayed by you but you did not tell her because of how she would feel about you.  It is a vicious cycle you two are in and it is spiraling out of control.  Do you have friends or family to talk to ?  You will need a support group during this time.  Keep you head high and show her how much you love her but be strong.  Keep me posted.

Brother I am so sorry that you are in so much pain. I can  feel you disparity  as I am in a similar situation. Let me just say that your wounds are still fresh, but each day gets a bit easier. My wife tossed me out of my home almost 2 months ago and I haven't heard anything from her since. It is still extremely painful to accept. but I am coping better as each day passes. I still have very bad and depressing days. I still have a hard time eating and sleeping as well. I have lost 30 lbs since then. You must try to eat and sleep in order to keep yourself strong and focused. Mine has refused counseling as well, so I had a couple of individual session and it has really helped. I can't for the life of me understand how your soul mate can just walk away without putting every effort into the marriage.It SUCKS. Stay strong buddy, things always have a way of working out.

I am so sorry to hear that this has happened to you especially around Father's Day.  My one piece of advice is ensure that she knows how you feel about her.  Try to communicate with her and see if she will sit down and discuss her feelings with you...whether alone or with a counselor.  Don't give up.  Maybe she just needs space to get her thoughts in order.  Try (and I know it is so hard) but try to think positively and in the mean time try to take care of yourself.  I know what is like not to sleep and eat for days and it is not good for you.  Gain support from your family and friends during this time.  Know that you are NOT alone.  Good luck.
