Why is it that for the eight years of my marriage, I pushed my wife away, and tried to keep her at arms length (not that I knew it at that time). NOW I don't want her to leave, and feel that I cannot live without her?

The grass is always greenter? The heart rarely knows what it wants? This is a tough time. but, think about what you really want. Give yourself some time to understand. Then if you really want your wife with you--let her know. Good luck!

we share the same story man....I pushed and pushed-looking for a reaction and didn't get one until I stopped pushing and wanted him. then he left. right when I fell madly back in love with him. So, one thing is for sure-you know why she left. But, why does it hurt so much when you wanted it for so long? People tell me it is because we never thought they would actually leave. I know that my cold shoulder was a cry for attention from my husband. Maybe there is a reason you were pushing?

I know how you feel. My hubby says that I pushed him away too, tho sometimes I didnt know I did. I don't want my hubby to leave either, but he left me for a second time in 2 weeks because he still doesnt know what he wants. I hope you start to feel better. You're a good person and Im praying for you!

You want what you cannot have!

I think we all have certain tolerances for closeness. Perhaps you did not want her to be as close as she wanted to be, but you did not want her gone.

In retrospect I now see that I did the same. Now that he is gone it is causing such havoc and turmoil. I do miss him and wish he had considered going to counseling with me. But we both were passive and now it's done. Sorry you are going through this.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
