We've been together for 10 years. We started marriage counselling recently. When the counselor asked if he wanted to stay married and work our problems through he said if it wasn't for the dc's he'd have gone by now. When the counselor said 'you can't stay together for the sake of children' and asked again, he said yes he wants to work on it.
I felt positive from the session. He was quite distant after but ok.
He's had to work away for the weekend and I blurted out by text that I was so afraid of our future, asking if he still loved me, if he believed we could work at it or if he still stands by his initial answer of being with me for the dc's. I was kind of hoping for some reassurance but didn't get it. He said not to over think things while i'm on my own and to use this weekend as a 'breather' and we'll talk when he gets back.
So now I have this awful situation where I'm alone, obviously over thinking and convinced my marriage is over. He would've said not to worry if everything was ok..wouldn't he? Or maybe he just didn't want to think about it this weekend.
I wish I didn't over analyse but it's hard when it comes to either being separated or married.
His family want us to split up and I think their pressure is what's making him go towards separation. He can't think for himself.
