Hi everyone. I am new to MB. I wanted to see if anyone can give me any suggestions. My H has left our home on 2/4/02. We have been married for almost 10yrs & have 2 sons (6 and 9). Our marriage has always been rocky and we have never had real counseling, although our problems have never been because infidelity. He says he is unhappy with me and can no longer live with me. He appears determined to end this marriage, no no divorce talk. Perhaps, he holds off because of the boys. I have read on the basic needs and I am trying to make subtle love deposits, but he is rejecting them. He is in the w/d stage. He comes to see the kids daily, but has no real contact with me. He has a lot of anger within him. Any suggestions on how i can pull him out of the w/d stage. .. Without being too pushy. Need help iam not handling this situation too well. Thnk you <p>Riquette<p>32 yrs/mrrd 3/92 and we have 2 boys
H left 2/4/02

As you can tell we have all been there or are there right now. Just avoid doing anything that would be considered a love buster. I don't know how much you know about the information on this site, but read it over real well, maybe get a couple of the books, and hang in there. I know this isn't a lot of help tonight, but you will find many insightful and loving people here, I am sad that you have to be here, but I am glad that you found it early in the game, support from people that understand is do important. I promise that I will get back with you tomorrow.
