I agree with you–if he wants to stay married then he has to be willing to get help in the form of conseling or something. Separating has its place, but you need to also find some other form of help. See if you can find someone for the two of you to talk with about the difficulties in your marriage.

Thanks for your ansvers.
NO he is not chatting on me.I tryed to find someone of his friends because if his friends he can belive if my friend he will not but the ansver was your problem you have to keep talking eachother.And he is thinking that i do not accept that because of different culture.I can not belive that and felt shock.

Different cultures can be hard to overcome, because of the unsaid expectations of the culture. Is your husband from a western culture? That’s the easy way to do it (rather than a western girl marrying into an eastern culture)…but I would expect that cultural expectations are a large part of the current difficulty.

What kinds of things are you fighting about?

Yes. It is critical that you devote some time to each other regularly.

He has checked out of the marriage. He wants to see if he can deal with being alone. Let him go and file for divorce. Don’t date him. Tell him that either you have to go to counseling together, or divorce. He is not into the marriage, so let him live on his own without you. Then you can find yourself a good man that will work with you, or you can come here and date me lol. Just tell him there will be no middle ground. Let him move out, then divorce. Don’t do it until he is out, and don’t warn or threaten him about it. You have to move on with yourself. I wish you luck.

Don’t take it all yourself. It takes two to make a relationship work. Just let things go, and get him out as quick as you can and get it over with. If he is not willing to make it work, then it is done. Good luck, and if you ever get to California, look me up :-)

Okay, if you want it to be done and over with, check this in a translator site to be sure it is what you want, then write this in a note to him:

“I know you want to try a separation, but I am not comfortable with that. I would prefer that if you are going to leave, and not try to work things out, that we finish our relationship. If you decide to go, our life together is done. I will date other people, and so will you. I appreciate the life we have had together, and will always cherish the good times. It is time to say goodbye, and move on with our own lives.”

If you want to try to get him to work things out, then try this one:

“We have had some tough times, but I do not think either of us wants to just end things. I would like to have a good relationships, without fights or problems. If you think there is a chance, as I do, then we should see a counselor and work out our differences. We cannot do this living apart, so you have to choose to stay here and make it work. If this is what you want, then we will make it happen. Otherwise, it must be goodbye, and no dates or seeing each other after this.”

I hope one of those works for you. Take care and good luck

Oh, sweetheart, My heart broke a bit when I read your post — I am going through the SAME thing.

We have been together 5 years , married 3 and now he wants to separate because he can’t control him self to stay calm over minor things (my opinion — his is different of course).

the pain is aweful! I can relate to your experience. This is a question of just curiosity — is he US Military? Mine is and we met in Korea — I’m not Korean, I’m Canadian, but meeting away from your home country makes it hard to see who they reeeeeally are.

my husband gives mixed messages, just like yours — (mine)calls and texts me, tells me how much he cares, blah blah, yet still wants to separate). He wants to “date” me to and I am told like you might be, “Don’t date him!!” but then I wonder could there be logic to his idea and it goes back and forth in my mind — it’s very confusing.

Well, this is what I’m doing and/or planning to do
-I found a place to move that is safe and affordable (family helped with $ and he gave me a little)
-talked and allowed myself to be comforted by other woman who were or are married (single women have no say — they don’t understand)
- I dove into my hobbies. I am spending a lot of time getting out and enjoying my hobbies
-eating healthy, exercising and following the basic principles of taking care of self
-I am allowing myself to be sad about all of this situation — not allowed to be sad all the time, but when it is deep, I allow myself to feel what I feel - anger, abandonment, betrayed, stupid, sad, pathetic, scared and anxious
-then when I’m strong I write down my “plan” I have a plan A, a plan B, and a plan C. A plan for with him and a plan for without him.
-when I listen to the radio and the sad love songs come on — and they all seem to be about breaking up or endless, undying love, I write the name down and promise myself I’m going to make him a CD. And years from not when he is lonely without me, :/ he can listen to the CD and remember he was the one who left ME and he brought his loneliness on himself — its a little sick… I know, but it helps me deal :)

I don’t know what your going to do. I don’t know what I’m going to do. But I know we both have to do one thing, and that is —TAKE CARE OF OURSELVES! At what ever cost — because they are showing us that we can’t depend on them to do it, so we must do it for ourselves.

Sweetheart, you be strong. It comforts me to know that I’m not the only one to experience this kind of pain. It saddens me to know that this pain exists.

God bless you!

oh! and I pray… A LOT! that helps to know that God’s got my back, and I appreciate how he has covered me.

WEll it helps to see I am not alone. My husband showered me with love and devotion in the first few years. I NEVER thought i would have to question his goals, feelings or commitment to me. Silly me.
I love him to death, but feel that we have grown apart. I wanted to stay connected and he wanted to disconnect in my opinion. After the kids- dont get me wrong he is a great dad loving, but I feel that there is an element of him wanting freedom.

I am scared I want him to realize that he just wants me and the kids. I think he has been conflicted for a while. He is younger and I think that as much as he doesnt want to admit it, that is what is coming into play. Like missing out on things he should have done back then. I was worried about this from the beginning but he was soooo sure!

I feel that I have been a patient and kind friend to him, but he has changed what I mean to him as a priority. I feel like i am a chore to him. It is so sad , I want him to feel the same way he did before, and you know I think he would like to feel that way too but just doesnt.

It is like walking on eggshells. Does he feel like he wants to stay with me today or not? It is not so much his words, althought he has told me at times he thinks about leaving, but his actions. He says we grew apart- but he is the one who distanced himself from me.

I feel helpless and feel like i reacted the way that pushed him away even more.

right now I am just getting over that distraught devastated feeling and able to acutally think about something else for 5 minutes. I lost 10 pounds and my heart just aches. I dotn want to loose him, but I am not desparate. close to it but I know I will make it - it is just so painful and scary to think he holds all the cards, i am just waiting for him to decide.

I am trying to let go but it is tough I still feel that if we reconnected he could see that we could have a great relationship.
