    Relationship Fear Of Physical Contact

    Thanks I was thinking the best thing is let her come to me. This has all started in the last month. We were married 5 years ago and she started acting similar and them left.

    Relationship Need Some Advice

    It was the anniversary of her children's death 2 weeks ago. I guess it took a while for it to trigger or set her off. I have seen her get depressed in years past but not turn on me. I was thinking about going to see someone who might give me insight on how to deal with it but what got me upset...

    Relationship Need Some Advice

    That seems to be similar to my situation. I can handle the no sex part but it's hard to rationalize no emotional reaction to a hug or a simple kiss on the forehead. I am thankful for all of the comments and help. I thought once she realized she needed help and we were moving forward things were...

    Relationship Need Some Advice

    Thank you for the reply LuckyDuck. I am trying to just be patient and see if by giving her some space things start looking up. As for the last part I'm just presuming but after the accident she for lack of better term "bounced around from one bad relationship to another. If my intuition is...

    Yes we are back together. I look back on things and realize that in my situation I think she needed to see how thing were without my love and support to see it. But we don't have children so that made a difference. Hope she can get started with treatment and with your support and love avoid...

    Relationship Yesterday Has Gone

    Fire Phill, Yes and no. She left me after 2 years for about a year. But never got out of touch. I think she knew who was there for her but didn't want to admit it.

    Relationship Why Do I Feel Empty

    Thanks. I was tried to talk about it last night after I got home but it turned into a defensive argument that ended in her telling me to leave her alone. She went to bed and so far is still asleep. I think my best approach is to just let it go right now because I feel no matter what I say right...

    I don't know were to start but I guess the best way is to just let my words flow. I am with the most wonderful precious girl in the world.
