we've been married for 2 years. This is our second separation. The first one was 2 months. So far this one has been 9 months. Both have been because of me taking advantage of her, not putting her 1st, not being a family man, and verbal abuse of things i've said that i regret. Is there any hope?<p>[ October 31, 2001: Message edited by: Cthalite ]</p>

without reading everyone's replies i will offer you this....<p>Yes there is always hope if you sincerely can realize and alter your coments. It is very degrading to have someone call you names and look you in the eye. It hurts but more then that as a person who receives this abuse all you can think is how not to spend time with them. If she feels this then this would be the reason why she has choosen to stay away. Seeing the hate in your eyes or her trying to make you calm down and you responding with more hurtstatements makes the feelings even worse. Woman can be very sensitive and men not being so intouch with their feelings do not realize the damage they do with words like slut, ***** **** off, go to hell.
By the way apoligizes are only as good as the absence the this behavior.
Since it has been 9 mos are you dating? sleeping together? counsellor?
because nine months of no contact would be even worse as the two or one of you may find yourself attached to another or in a relationship with another.
Above all be honest, regardless of what you plan to say.
good luck
