Sorry no one has posted to you yet...you'll get a lot more help if you hang out on a better-read board (Emotional Needs would be good)...as this one doesn't have a lot of traffic.<P>As to what to do, I would strongly suggest you call one of the Harleys for counseling...even of your wife won;t participate, they are quite good at helping you be as effective as possble in working with her.<P>Click the counseling link at the top of the page for more info.<P>Good luck.

MJ, I have been married for 14 years this september and I am going through the same thing. This is how I found this web site. My wife insists that she does not need counseling! To try and get around it I have purchased books recommended by counselors and also downloaded the Basic Concepts and left it where she could see it. So far she has read two books and the articles from Basic concepts. We are still not sure where our relationship is going (or at least I am not!) but it is a start..<P>Do not know if it will work in your case but it may be worth a shot. Women are complex and need to be handled delicately.

I read your post and you could have been writing about my H and I, our 5 yr anniversary is in Dec. So sorry you're going through this. My H also insists he doesn't need counselling. I'm at work at 9pm because I don't know where else to go. I've tried almost everything and I don't know where to go from here. Please let me know if you learn anything to help you.

Thanks for your note. I am doing a bit better. I found a great book from Susan Page: How one of you can bring the two of you together. It has help me realize some important things about me and my relationship with my wife. I am committed to the relationship and seeking help for my issues. I believe she will be gone before end of next week. <P>Mike <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by sadntired:<BR><B>I read your post and you could have been writing about my H and I, our 5 yr anniversary is in Dec.
