<snip>my H and I discussed over again the reasons for our divorce and he ended up telling me that I had failed him in his opinion as a wife - that I didn't live up to my end of the bargain. </snip><P>Monen, did you know what "your end of the bargain" was in the first place? If your marriage has any similarity to mine, the issue of expectations causes much conflict. My H has expectations placed on me that I never agreed to. It works both ways. I have expectations of him too. I'm usually disappointed. <P><snip>He is now treating me like a leper although he is continuing to go to counseling (we are only on our 2nd session). </snip><P>What is the motivation here? Newbie, think about it -- why would your wife take you back if you're filling her days with disrespectful judgements? Monen, you don't want to be treated that way! <P>I hope you two keep posting. You seem to have similar communication breakdowns that I have with my H. I honestly don't know how to communicate with my H. I don't make him happy. He doesn't make me happy. Give me something I can learn from.

Monen<P>I've Been wondering if you were still lurking? Multiple Personalities can definitely add to a problem in a marriage. But if it helps the two of you to talk this out in this manner, I think you should give it a try...<P><BR><p>[This message has been edited by Lacee (edited May 03, 2000).]

I'm still here... taking in what everyone is saying. Our 2nd counseling session is in about an hour and I'm hoping to accomplish something. My husband and I seem to have gotten past the worst of things (I hope), but we'll just have to work and wait and see. <P>I appreciate everyone's comments - my husband says he is no longer reading them but who really knows... [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com] They are helping me put things into perspective though, which was my point in posting. It's helping me to realize that this isn't the worst thing I could be going through and to remember to pray for all the others here going through problems.<P>Thanks to those who posted and I'm willing to hear more if anyone else has anything to add!
