My wife and I are about to be separated. This is not my preference so I just get to go along with it. After hours and hours of discussion trying to understand the "WHY" of it all, it is time now to let go and let GOD. I know that HE has a plan for me but right now it is very unclear. I have been a faithful husband, a hard working contributor and an excellent father to our 2 children. As a couple we have had our share of disagreements of which I consider normal. My wife on the other hand expects us to agree on everything. Anyway, there is so much more to this situation and I have tried everything in my power to keep us from separating, but it looks like as soon as our house sells we will part ways. I believe in the power of prayer and kindly ask that you take a moment to ask GOD to heal both of our hearts and begin to restore the love that we had for each other. Thanks very much....

MM - Have you been reading the info. on this site? It may help you to get through this by trying to implement Plan A.

I know that things seem hopeless and there is alot of confusion about the situation, but take things one day at a time and God will slowly lead you through this dark time.

It's hard to know what the right thing to do or say is to your wife, but the info. here can get you started n the right track. Also, make sure that you have a support system in place for you like family, friends, a church group, or a counselor.

Begging and pleading usually doesn't work, but do read about Plan A and see what you think.

Try not to get talked into doing anything legally that you don't want to do, especially when emotions are running high. You need time right now to understand what is happening and to make sure that you are making the right decisions.

We'll be praying for you. Remember that God works in mysterious ways and even if you don't get the answer that you think you need, God will be agiving you what He knows that you need. God will be there no matter what, so take strength from Him. K

My husband and I separated in 98. I was so angry at the dynamics of our marriage and how he didn't "see" what I had been trying to communicate to him that I needed some time just to like him again. To be away from him, away from the constant disagreements. He said he would give me that time but it was only in words he resented me for it still to this day. He never gave me the time I needed to heal he used it over and over again to justify why our relationship did not work. If you do give her time, do it for her even if you don't understand do it because you want her to be healthy and happy and the relationship to be healthy and happy but don't hold it over her head.
