Married 14 years and I finally called her out. I told her where I stood which is that this rough patch is something we can work through. I've been vocal about my needs, including intimacy. It's been over a year since we did anything and before that it was rare. She asked if I knew where she stood. I said somewhere between we can wait until the kids are 18 and I want a divorce next month. She didn't correct it and that hurt the most. She said she honestly goes back and forth because she sees the good husband I am but also finds part of me annoying and it's been the same things. That part is on me. I told her I'm tired of living on this edge of divorce and that it's not fair to me and definitely it fair to her. I still want her and to be with her and don't eanr divorce, but she needs to make a choice and stick to it. I told her I'd work on me while she decides and be more in tune, off my phone, off video games, circle back to things she's said before. I asked her to be open to me emotionally during this time and take that risk instead of walling me off like it's been for a bit. She is a great person. I just need to get this off my chest since I don't have any friends I can talk about this with.

I hope this works out for you. I'm assuming you do have friends, just not the close ones that you could confide into about this and that there's more to her than this teetering. If you can, maybe couples counseling can help, but the easiest thing is to work on those things she's suggested and find an accountability partner that's not her to keep you to it. Good luck
ReplyRather than being on your phone and playing video games do more things with your wife. Give her more attention and have a date night once a week. Go to places where she can dress up, wear make up, and do her hair. Show her that you appreciate her by paying her compliments.
