Help...how do I get my wife to talk to me....

After 2 years of an almost loveless marriage, I ended up having an affair on my wife of 9 years...knowing that what I was doing was wrong I ended the affair and admitted my mistake to my wife....honesty I thought would be the best policy....we live overseas and in June my wife and daughter went home for the summer months and she has decided not to return...not only that she will no longer answer her phone, email or txt msgs.....I feel like I am trying to communicate with a wall....no responses to anything......I continue to send regular emails and regular text messages.......any advice on getting someone to communicate........

you know, it sounds really stupid, but women are suckers for romance. It sounds like she is really angry and trying to punish you, she's hurt! If it was me this is what I would do as well. If on the other hand, my man inundated me with flowers, then maybe I would start listening. Don't give up, try it and keep on trying, and also keep on with the texts, she needs to see that you really are sorry. Good luck
