I don't even know where to start. Tonight my wife of ten years and we have two daughters told me she loves me but is not in love with me. And no I don't quite understand that statement. She doesn't know what she wants. All she says is I don't know. What should I do. I am willing to try anything to save our marriage. I've known for a while there was something wrong but everytime I asked what was wrong she said I don't know. So I tried to give her space. We haven't been intimate or anything for a couple of months now. Is it too late. How do I get her to try and work through this. PLEASE HELP !! She went to a friends house for a couple of hours to think and I don't know what to say or do to try to make this marriage work. Thanks

The same thing happened to me 3 months ago, married 10 years also and 2 kids. We worked on it and things got great for 2 months then 4 weeks ago I got hit with it again from a more definitive stance. Now my wife says she feels like she wants a divorce from what would seem like a pretty good marriage. I don't get it either.

I've been trying tactfully for us to become reconnected. I've had some limited success here and there but she also needs to see the result of a divorce or seperation for the both of you and your kids. Mt spouse got the biggest eye opener when she awoke to me talking to a realtor in our foryer about selling the home.

Read up on Plan A and Plan A your butt off. Most sound advice I can give. You need to get her to the point where she wants to try to make your marriage work or what it once was.

toysrwill, LLB, taz37678,JAG313 - Okay, it's important that you all get some help and some guidance, so please post your stories and questions on the Infidelity Forum General Questions II.

Most of those who can help you regulary read and post on that forum whereas this one gets very limited traffic.

toysrwill - this is the most typical "opening salvo" from a spouse who IS in an Affair. I heard it and virutally all BS's (Betrayed Spouses) have heard it from their WS (Wayward Spouse). Post on GQ II for some immediate help.

LLB - the short answer is "yes" the problem can be fixed. But before going there the first question that needs to be answered is "is the impotency caused by a real physcial problem or by a mental problem?" I assume that he was not always impotent, so something has changed from "back then."

Post on GQ II. Several members have dealt with this issue.

taz - your wife is presumably in an affair. Your "friends" may think they "mean well," but if they are "there for" your wife, they are what around here are called "enablers."

Suffice it to say, if they "tolerate" infidelity, they have never experienced it for themselves nor do they have a clue how to help end an affair and recover a marriage. If you want good help, please post on General Questions II.

JAG313 - your wife, also, is having an affair. Get yourself over to the General Questions II forum pronto!

I also noticed that you received some 'advice' from Aphaeresis on the Divorced/Divorcing Forum. Be careful with what she says as she is a WS who has had at least 5 affairs and has not told her husband yet.

Stick with the people who have been through this mess for advice you may want to implement.

All - read all you can on this site about Affairs. Be voracious readers. If you don't own them yet, get at least two books that will help you understand what is happening and how to help save your marriages.

Torn Asunder by Dave Carder

Surviving An Affair by Dr. Willard Harley (the founder of Marriage Builders

See you all on GQ II!

Remember, all is NOT lost and you CAN recover your marriages.
