I thought I was happily married for 10 years...when my wife shocked me with the news that we wants to seperate, then promply moved out and is staying with one of her friends. She moved out 5 weeks ago...and told me today that she hasn't changed her mind regarding the seperation. We went to 1 session of counciling, but her heart is not into getting this resolved. There were no affairs, no abuse. This was a total shock to me.
Any advise would be very very much appreciated. I don't have a support circle in the city I'm living and I'm having to go through this by myself. I'm sure you all know what I'm going through, I just wish I had friends here to give me good advise.
I'm 39 & she's 38. In hindsight, there were signs...but we never had any serious discussons to try to resolve them. I think that was our main problem. We didn't have a platform for discussing issues...just swept them under the mat. She never mentioned seperation or divorce once during the 11 yrs we were together. If I knew she was feeling this way, I would have got counceling straight away to help develop our communication skills with each other.
it was the non communication that ruined your relationship. My X was in the same boat, didn't even see it coming. From my point of view, are you kidding me.. I barely said two words to him every day for a long time...okay maybe more than two.
