[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Long story short, we are mid-40s. Wife is quite distant, intimacy has struggled for years. She has finally said it's just that she wants to be alone, she's spent two decades being tethered to the kids, putting her career on hold while mine soared, etc. She's ready to live for her. I asked her is she is leaving me, she said she is considering moving out.

I know the obvious answer is "affair" and of course it could be but it doesn't feel like it.

What's the future? Do I do the 180? Fight for her? It's hard to fight for someone who doesn't really want to be with you.

Thanks, could use some real insight.[/quote]

Dear OP
I am a DH in very similar situation. I have not read this entire thread but I want to recommend a resource that is helping me feel at peace in the same situation you are in. check out husbandhelphaven.com there is a great video series called peace and control.. 100% recommend it![/quote]

Agree. This helped me a couple years ago, lots of good material to read also.
In my case DW started hanging out with a new friend who constantly complained about her DH to my wife while talking about having an emotional affair with some guy in another state. Didn't take long for my DW to start nitpicking everything I did and deciding she wasn't happy.

You have to put the work in. Make yourself the best person you can be, and also the best husband and father your can be. Give it time and hopefully she notices. But also don't stop being this person if she decides to stay[/quote]

Or if she decided to leave[/quote]

correct, that is always a possibility [/quote]
