reconciliation

Hello, I am introducing myself per the sign up instructions. I am mainly on this site because I found it informative leafing through the forums. I also joined because some things in a marriage are best talked about anonymously with people that don't know either party in the marriage. I am...

Hello everyone, I would like to share my story, sorry in advance if it is too long. Me and my partner have been together for 3 and a half years. It was not your common relationship, we started as coworkers and moved to my place directly after breaking up with his ex. Soon after that I bought a...

My wife and I have been at odds for many years. FIghting about literally every topic one can think of. I am by no mean an angel, but I show my wife respect, do virtually everything she asks me to do, and I do try to be a great husband and dad. I sure I fall short on many things but she does too...

Hey everyone! After an 8 month separation my husband (rather ex husband - still weird to say it like that) went ahead with the divorce and I got our divorce decree 2 weeks ago. I have been taking it OK-ish. I was a much worse mess before everything because I did not know if we were going to get...

My wife is the best thing thats ever happened to me. And we are getting a divorce. It's the single greatest pain I've ever gone through. You know how they say when a member of a long married couple passes away, the other often goes within 6 months? I completely understand why. I feel physically...

First a little back ground. My Ex and I are currently talking about getting back together. We were married for 24 years and have two great kids. The last two years of our marriage were very rocky. We both had multiple emotional affairs. I am not sure about physical affairs on her part (she...

Hi Everyone. First post on the forums because I'm at a loss with my situation. Figuring people on these boards have heard stories similar to mine and might have some advice. My wife (29 and I'm 34) of 7 years, 11 years together, told me in August that she wanted a divorce. Three days later she...

Im curious about what made your husbands decide to come back? My husband is the one who doesn't want to work on things now but we still have sex, are very civil and have fun together when we spend time together. He is enjoying the party scene so Im waiting to see what will get him to realize...

My husband and I have been together 3 years and married 2. We have a 15 month old son as well. We are on month 4 of our separation and he is loving living the single life! I pushed him away after I had our son and up until a month ago we hadn't had sex for 8 months. We were fighting a lot and...

So... I'll try to be brief. I met my husband 6 years ago, we got together 6 months later and we were very happy. We were convinced that we were soul mates from the start and we moved in together just 5 months later. The beginning of the relationship was very intense, with a lot of love...

Yesterday in therapy, my therapist told me to get this book which I did, about EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy). I can't put it down. Has anybody read this? Put it into practice? What did you think? Did it work for you?

Hi everyone, I'm new here. My husband and I have been separated for 9 months and he is very obstinate. I've been employing mort fertel's practices for a couple of months now and it is making my husband really upset. He won't answer any of my calls and is very cold towards me. I'm keeping them...

I have been separated for about 6 months now, we've been together for close to 4.There was still a lot of love there when the separation happened, things were just in a slump and we were arguing, I was depressed from fall of last year until about September and I had become too reliant on his...

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, I'm just trying to seek out some insight from anyone who may have some. Also I apologize for the wall of text. It turned into many more words than I was intending, but details might make it easier to provide insight. Background: My wife and...

I will try to keep it short as poss... My husband suffers from quite severe recurrent depression which we have discovered is worse in winter (SAD). The last two winters have been destroyed for us. The winter before last he had a breakdown and lost the ability to cope with work/kids, etc. Over...

Hello Everyone, I just joined less than an hour ago. I'm happy to be here and will support as many as I can while I'm on here. I'm 37 years old, my husband is 36. We have two small children under 5. He had been cheating on me since my oldest was 6 months old up until I had proof he was...

The first 15 years of my marriage were awesome. My wife and I met in college and were very much in love. Lots of love throughout our marriage and great physical and emotional intimacy. We have two elementary-age children. But the last 4 years have been a struggle. New jobs and relationship led...

I'm hesitant to return here after a lot of the negativity I saw on my last thread, but I'm not going to over-think this, here goes: Bite Size recap: I'm 31, my wife is 30, and we've been officially married for 12 years and have a 10 y/o child. After years of maintaining a porn addiction, a...
