You should go to counseling, maybe the break will help her realize she loves you and misses you. Abense makes the heart grow fonder. I hope everything works out for you.

Signs don't look good, but if she wanted it over right now, then she wouldn't have agreed to counseling. So you do have some hope.

don't you give up ,if she is willing to go to counseling after moving out ,go ,it would be better to go now before the move , and it might stop the separation but you keep hope alive


reddevilbloodymary
Is it going to kill you to spend just a little more time in the counseling??? I mean come on, you have invested 5 years.....so who cares what she is doing, if she's willing to go to counseling do it anyway, no matter where she is living. Sometimes people need a break, some perspective AWAY from the person they are having all the issues with.

It's better if your still together, being apart could cause trust issues (I know I would have them). Explain why you want to before she moves out...

Go to counseling no matter what. She is willing then do it. Even if one of you moves out. You need it if you are going to stay together and you need it if you are going to break up for good. Good luck!!

Sad to say, sounds like she's done. My ex wanted to be married, wanted to be divorced, married, divorced. That went on for 6 months. With all the highs and lows of going through that, I wouldn't wish it on anyone. Take a good hard look at what's going on, the whys and who's of the situation driving her. You might be money ahead to get a lawyer. Good Luck

Try the counseling anyway. If she wants to move out then you can't force her not to. Perhaps once you two are apart and have counseling things will be better between you two. Best of luck!

It's definitely worth trying.

her moving out should not deter you from trying. if she's willing to go to counseling its a sign that she has not completely given up, therefore neither should you.

I think you should try counseling. Maybe you should let her move out. It might give her some time to think and she will see what she's missing. She might just need some time alone to think. I do think the counseling will be good. It's worth it after being married 5 years!

WHy not try it. Nothing bad can come out of it.

if she's willing to try even if she moves out then do it. sometimes people need their space and it might work out better for you. you'll never forgive yourself if you don't try. good luck

it's possible that it will help - keep an open mind and try to think positively

Hi Father,

Well first things first she has fallen out of love with you and this is something you are simply going to have to accept.

This is to the point of her not wanting to be in the same home together and honestly you have an up hill battle one where you are going to have to step WAY BACK and give her her space.

I know this is hard but the harder you push to goto counseling and spend time together the worse this will get she will have to take the lead and of she is doing this in half measures - its just to go through the motions.

This is going to take a fundamental change in you to win her back and more then likely the game is already been played and is over.

Email me with details and I can help further if you'd like.

Counselling is a very good move, try it.

Call a counselor no. Waiting will do no good. Even if you go alone, it'll be worth it.

If you love her, then it is worth a shot even if she does move out. Remember a cooling off period may be helpful if you both use ti as an opportunity to explore your relationship and your feelings for one another in healthy ways.
Best of luck.

I would go along with her wishes. It may be her way of saying-I'm moving out to really get your attention as there are some things you need to change about yourself. Why don't you ask her why she wants to do it that way? I do hope things work out for you. Don't forget to say a prayer asking God to help.

It' s not necessarily a dead end but when a woman makes up her mind it's best to let her try things her way , women never like to be forced into doing something they don't want to do and can end up hating you for it. so try things her way and be strong if things don't work out for you. The best thing you can do is be a man and be stable and strong for whatever comes your way because you will survive one way or another.

try it. tell her its worth a shot and that you love her.


Love my babies
First of all i will suggest you to see what is the real problem express how you feel to her and if the mistake was yours tell her you will do better and do it,..... Tell her that you want for this to be solved and ask her for one chance to go to counseling and after that you will decide to split or continue together,....BUt if it is her that doesn't want ANYthing else with you then I will suggest you to let her go .Yes I know it is hard to let go when you love someone but it is more hard to stay with someone who doesn't love you... SO cheer up a little and best wishes...:)

You have to understand that you can't make her do something if her heart isn't in it. Although it hurts, you have to respect the fact that she is being honest. If she wants out, then I am sure she has her reasons.

If counseling is the way to go, the try it. If she is willing to go, then I say at least try. But don't set your hopes too high. If she has already made the physical break from you, chances are she is well on the road to the emotional break as well. Hate to drag you down, but I don't want you to set yourself up for another heartbreak.

I could be wrong...sometimes people don't realize what they have until it is gone.

I wish you the best of luck.


ABBYsMom
Well it helps sometimes...If she wants to move out first this is a sign she doesn't wont to work things out...

There are some people out there that always think the grass is greener on the otherside~ True love says--- If you love someone- let them go- if it was ment to be~ they will be back! DO as she asks! let her move out and do the therapy~ Atleast she is giving you something~ she could be moving out and saying no period and thats that! Give it a try!

Good Luck!

you will only prolong the inevitable, and then make some counsler rich, move on with your life. do you truly need a woman in your life?

it is worth trying. it is easier to walk away from relationships in the end when you have done your complete best to make things work. you don't want to have a bad case of 'what ifs?' when she leaves. do what you can. marriage is a tough thing, and nobody's is perfect so don't beat yourself up too much.

Do what it takes to save your marriage.

At least you will know you gave an honest effort to fix things, and maybe things will work out. Definitely worth a try.
