Hi ive been married for 18 months and we have been together just over 5 years we have lived together just over 3 years , I have read alot on how and what I should have done as I was an alcoholic and did not meet my wife's emotional needs and neglected her as in independent behaviour and angry outbursts and basiclly abused her and I have given up the drink as I realized this was a contributing factor after she walked out on me after a drunken angry outburst when I told her that I had kissed someone else over twelve months ago and I have given it a lot of thought on how I was treating her and she has told me that it seemed I did not want to be near her I explained that I think it was the guilt that stopped me treating her the way I should of even though i kissed some in a drunken state it was no excuse as i had told my wife when we first started seeing each other if she ever kissed someone else she may aswell sleep with them as i would be out the door so she has held onto that all the time we have been togther i have been going to a counsellor to better myself and work on my faults but i do want to save our marraige as i do love her so much but she has said that she has fallen out of love with me as her love bank account has run dry but she has said the account is still there but the bank is closed she had been telling me that she hadn't been happy for sometime but i thought everything was ok well now i hope i haven't left it to late to of woken up in which my eyes are very wide open now
i have given her some of the ideas off your sight and asked her if it was informative to her and she has said yes and i said i'd like to put what we've learnt into practice to make our relationship blossom how or what would you suggest for me to do i would really like your advise as i do really want to save our marrige as she has given up on working on it and i have only just started unfortunately it has been six weeks since she has left and is surggesting we should sell the house please help

Welcome to MarriageBuilders. It is a great place to be under the circumstances. Keep reading here and posting and you will figure out what to do. Mainly the only changes you can make are in yourself. It will be much better to make changes than to talk about them. Your wife is more likely to believe actions rather than words.
