I'm Tired Of Being Married And Single

I've been married 10 years but the past few have been hard. My wife barely talks to me anymore. She doesn't sleep with me or help with our children at all. I miss the way things were and don't understand what I've done wrong. I'm a good faithful man, a good father and provide for my family. I'm at a lose

Kids and a super fast paced life doesn’t leave much time for the husband and wife. I feel very similar to what you explained. I almost feel Like we are two roommates raising our children

Have you guys talked about this...? Like, one day you can tell her "I miss the way things were before..." and take from there...

@SW-User I use to try. And she just said she needed her space and I gladly gave it to her. But its been almost two years of this and nothing has changed or gotten better. I am willing to give her time I'm just exhausted from working and doing everything with the kids plus cleaning. I feel like a single dad. I probably sound selfish and that's not my point. Just looking to vent a little.

@Edginggirl No, you don't sound selfish at all... Seems like your wife is taking advantage of your good-will and sense of responsibility. An acquaintance of mine went through a similar thing, he always tried his best, helping with the kids and the house, being all understanding etc, but his wife was an abusive psychopath... He just couldn't see it because she convinced him [i]he[/i] was the problem...

Communication...it ain't easy but the only way you'll figure out what's broken.

Never been in your exact circumstances, but acts of love create love.

Reading this post brings back bad memories on my own marriage. 😐

As your wife won’t communicate with you, what’s your best guess of why she’s turned her back on you, and the children? Maybe not even a guess. Usually, we have a good idea why, even when we don’t acknowledge it.

@Carissimi I fear deep down I know the answer to this already. She doesn't want to be a mother or wife anymore. She wants to be free again. Tonight I was cleaning up after dinner and she came in the kitchen to get wine. She said her and her friends where going to kc for the parade. She turned and walked out. Our boy said bye mommy and she ignored him. He was crushed. I was too.

This behavior is doing damage to your children, and yourself. I’m so sorry. As painful as it is, you may be better off without her. I wish you strength to deal with it all. @Edginggirl
