Hello,
im new to this . I’ll try to make this brief .im not married but been with my significant other for about 13 years . In the process we have 2 kids . About 7 years ago we separated for about half a year . We got back . About a year give or take the relationship was dying ! I didn’t want her to sleep with me . I wasn’t attracted to her anymore in the sense that her lack of not being the ideal woman that I hope for wasn’t there . She’s not responsible, didn’t have any consideration to everything I’ve done . I clean, wash clothes , keep things in order . Just to find her doing nothing . Most of the time just laying there. Didn’t care about nothing but her own world . She goes out , stays out late to the following day . I know her whereabouts . But the kids ask where’s Mom all the time she’s never here!” She’s been in her own funk , and I know she has been avoiding me . She leaves and comes back late , not considering that she’s a mom with kids !well yesterday it happen I got the Tex that she fell out of love , because I wasn’t attentive to her needs . Emotionally, sexually. This has been happening for many years . She felt neglected. The problem is that she never saw her flaws . To accept her damage as well . We talked last night kids got involved because I lost it . I cried . It hurts so much to lose them not seeing them everyday. To finalize we are still holding on because of the kids .i don’t want to lose my family . And I want to make it better . But it takes two . Her reply was , we have a co parenting support. And it’s difficult for both of us in all aspects . Financially. She said I can’t answer what’s to become of us because she doesn’t know anything. She wants to fix her self first . I said I’m giving you space , but I want respect during this process .i said one day at a time during the process to see what’s the outcome . She said yea” in a not convincing way . Point to all this to anyone is that I’m in distress! I’m at work not knowing how I’m still here . I want to leave and I know this won’t solve the problem . My heart is in pain , I’m holding my tears . I’m embarrassed to say this . I’m losing it seriously . Please someone help me , to aid or share your own personal experiences.
thankyou all for your time .
a) never get the kids involved. I've been forcefully involved due to my father and our relationship is forever ruined
b) don't hold on just because of the kids, you'll forever have problems and it will end up ruining the entire family in the process
again this is just my personal experience, its hard to say what works and what doesn't work depending on the situation. this is probably awful advice but it's all i got
