If she's given up on your marriage, there isn't much chance you're going to be able to do anything about it. You can't make someone else love you, or even go back to loving you.

What you do need to do is talk to her about why she has stopped loving you. You say she wanted you to change, and you've made some changes, but now she doesn't like what you've turned into - sounds like you can't win, so really you just have to try and deal with the situation as it is. Ask her if she's prepared to go to relationship counselling, but if she won't, she won't. :(

Sorry you're going through this, it is shit.

Sounds like there isn't anything you can do - except let her go. But make sure you have adequate access to your children.

I'm sorry to say that if she wants to go, there's nothing you can do to stop her. If she feels that the marriage is salvageable, then you could try relationship counselling, but her behaviour speaks volumes really. You need to be looking after yourself, if you are feeling very down and unable to cope, it might be a good idea to go and speak to your GP.

Try counceling. Idealy with her. Of she is not interested then by yourself.

RubbishMantra · 05/02/2015 05:16

Oh, bless you aaron.

You're obviously having a really rubbish time atm, but you will get through it.

From what you say, she appears to have checked out of the relationship. Could she be depressed? If not, then what she's saying re. other men paying her attention is downright cruel really.

Counselling for yourself is definitely the way forward. Help you not to define yourself by another's treatment of you.

Fantasmicos · 05/02/2015 07:52

Either there's more to the story or she's a total bitch for treating you like that. You are not defined by the relationship you are in, however big a part of your life it may be. It doesn't sound salvagable to me so I'd work out how to move on bit by bit, don't make any rash decisions about housing, money, or access to children that you may later regret.

She sounds cruel not to try any sort of talking at all. Sending you a hug Aaron.
