My wife of 24 years tells me last week that she wants to seperate and left the next day. I knew things were different in her the last 6 months. We've had alot of stress on our lives, childs wedding, business, they thought she had breast cancer and we had to wait a month, death in the family all in 3 months.I've listened and talked to her about what to change in me or both of us to make it work. She said she wants to start dating again with me which we did last friday night and it went great,we talked, held hands and had a great night. Today she wanted me to come over and watch television and we had time to talk again. She held my hand and passionatly kissed. But she won't come home or at least say she loves me. I miss her so much and told her I will make changes in my live to be with her. Why does she act like she does love me but can't say it or at least come home and try to make it work. Very confused

Have you asked your wife 'why' she doesn't want to live at home? It's probably because she wants to do something that she doesn't want you to know about. Sometimes a spouse who is secretly having an affair will tell the other spouse they 'just need space' and move out. So I would recommend that you hire a private investigator to find out what your wife is doing while she's moved out. Prepare yourself for the possibility that she's having an affair.
