Just needed a place to post (without anyone I know seeing). I miss my wife. We live in the same house for the sake of our kids and keep normalcy for them. Even in the same house, we are miles apart. We're very civil to each other. We've just grown apart over the years. But I still regret everyday not being the husband she needed. Now, all I can do is respect her boundaries; get healthier physically and emotionally; and hope that there's still a crack open in her heart for me.

    Do something nice, helpful, without being asked. Don't expect thanks..just try it. With children, sometimes moms and dads get lost in all the noise.

    So sorry you're suffering. I hope you both will soften toward each other.

    Saying this out loud is a huge step. Keep making healthy choices. If you want a different outcome something will have to change. If direct communication is too hard right now try maybe saying this again in front of a counsellor. Sometimes a fresh set of eyes will give you new ideas.
