Haha Sandi,

I don´t say that it does not hurt to hear the truth, but I appreciate it! Whoa…
Yes, I´m impatient and I need to work on that.

You know you are going! In fact, I'd bet you've already told her that you wanted one more session.


Surprise surprise, I have not said I´ll go. But don´t say I don´t want to haha cool. I see everyone´s point, I´m impatient and man with too many words. I need to cool down. I know that if I go, I´ll just end up in worsening my situation.

I just wanted too badly to save the M. I need to start realizing that my W don´t want a R with me atm.
I hope that space between us helps me dealing with my emotions.

Still here?


It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!

Definitely still here, thanks for asking!

I´ve been travelling a bit together with my son, which have been great!

What it comes to relationship front, it´s not that simple. I realize how I´ve been emotionally quite unstable and I´m trying to learn to stand steadily on my own two feet.

It´s funny how on the other hand I feel the excitement of stepping into single lifestyle and on the other hand I would so desperately want to get back together with W.

What I see that I miss the most is the feeling of safety and unity. I remember when we were travelling with car as a family how I used to think that whatever would happen in the world right now, I have everyone who I love the most in this car. We would not need anyone else. Without W that feeling is gone forever. The kids would always need their mother even if we would not be together. Weird anecdote I know, but it´s about feelings. The other thing I would lose for good with my W is the possibility to the "love for life". I´m a big fan of this concept, and it´s not possible with anyone else anymore...

I´ve recognized something familiar from other threads I´ve red. I have started to see faults also in my wife what it comes to problems in our relationship. I have used to blame myself for majority of things, but now I see more that my wife was not that perfect either. However, much of the guilt is still there, since I have tendency to think that she probably would have been better, if I would have been better before. That´s actually how it always went - I needed to always change first.

What it comes to things between us, it´s still status quo.
W texts me almost daily of how she feels empty without us, but how she still fears of "losing herself" if she would be in R with me. She also continues analyzing why everything happened as it happened - how she felt inferiority and inadequacy in our marriage and how she exhausted herself in trying to be enough for me. I never knew this before, so I´ve tried to validate her feelings without going too deep.

We never went to that last therapy session together, but I went alone and she went alone once and goes again this Friday. The future plans of MC are still pending... I have said that I do not see point in MC if she don´t want to find something new between us.
Also, I have not put in motion my plan of cutting financial support for two reasons: there is no sign of OM and I fear that it would be the last nail to the coffin. Maybe that´s weak, but I wanted to wait for the outcome of her individual therapy session at Friday about if she still wants to find us or not.

I guess not, but if she would, I have started to realize that what kind of changes I would need to see in her before I could think of a new relationship with her.

So, in short - I´m still not detached, but something hopefully is going to right direction...

G,

Why do you believe OM is out of the picture? He just won your child a bear ten days ago.

LH,

I cannot be 100% sure, but I strongly believe that they did not plan the meeting since my kids were there too... However, I know for sure that I cannot believe what she says so my position is not that good. That´s why I need to cut the support if she do not show that she want´s to find something new between us.
I know it would be mentally easier to do that right away (and maybe even more effective), but to be honest: I fear to do that.

And why do I fear that: I know my wife and she would take that as a declaration of war. I´m afraid there is no turning back from that road...

That is weird,

NOTIFY on this post with what you want to say and I will edit the post and insert it.

Although I will be out most of today, so be patient.
