Make it thru Holidays?
| Sun, 12-09-2007 - 6:11pm |
Hello all...
I'm relatively new to this board. I've been lurking on and off for some time, but had yet to actually post. I didn't really have much to contribute or ask until now.
My husband and I have pretty much come to the conclusion that we can't live together anymore. We have 3 children ages 3-11 and are trying to make this as easy a transition for them as possible. We've decided it best to wait through the holidays, but boy is it proving to be rather difficult.
This is something that, although we agree that we shouldn't live together, I'm more convinced than he is. He's not a bad man, just not a very good husband.

Ladies,
Itom,
First of all, allow me to say how sorry I am that you're going through this. I'm sure this is very, very difficult for you and being so far away from home just makes it all that much more traumatic.
My situation is a little different in that this has been a long time coming and husband knows it. We've been in and out of marriage counseling for 7 years. We've talked until we can't talk anymore. At this point, he could rope the moon and give it to me in a pretty package and it wouldn't make any difference. The damage has been done (on both sides of the marriage - I'm certainly not completely innocent in all this) and there's really no fixing it anymore.
I would say, for you, how do you *not* give her "space" being so far away? What exactly is she asking for? For you not to call? How often do you
