Last Thursday my wife told me that she was leaving and going to her mothers to stay for a while. She said she needed some time to think about our marriage. When she was talking, in her eyes it looked like she wanted to call it quits. Several things she said made me know this. I would like to know what to say to her so that I will not put any pressure on her. I have read the past two days about what is inside the books I ordered thru this web sight but there are no specific ideas or what to say. I have ordered the books from this web site. I know why she is not happy. I was not paying enough attention to her. I know this know. What can I say to her to let her allow me a chance to outwardly show my feelings and love to her? We have a 14 month old. I don’t want to ruin a potentionaly great family.

Your wife hasn't filed for divorce so you still have a chance. You should be kind to her, don't smother her with affection but ask her to talk about her feelings. Apologize for not paying enough attention to her. Tell her you will do anything to bring back the love you had, and that you don't want your child to grow up in a split household. "I'm sorry, please forgive me, I love you." Those are the words she needs to hear. Take her to dinner, without the baby. Treat her like a woman, we always respond to that.

Jberg, do you think she is having an affair?
Did she tell you she left because she wasn't getting attention from you?
