“In that time I decide it’s been over a year, if she won’t talk to me I’m going to start speaking to other women, it’s been long enough,” he said.
“I tell her I’m going to start seeing other women and she totally does a 180 on me. “I never really wanted to get divorced, what issues can I fix, etc”. At this point I can’t honestly say I don’t love her anymore as anything more then a friend; after a year I’ve made my peace with getting a divorce.”
Then, his wife made him create a list of all the problems he actually had with staying with her.
So, he did just that. He made her a list, and on there was arguing, his wife complaining about where they live, the fact that they don’t have a physical relationship, and her weight gain.
His wife looked at the list of problems he had with her, and she promised that she would change every single thing.
For the next week, things were pretty good, and she stuck to her word about fixing the issues he presented to her.
“However it’s already been dropping off,” he continued. “In this time I’ve already started talking to a few women on some dating apps, I even met one for a date, although that didn’t turn into anything.”
“I really want things to work out with my wife, she’s a good person, but I don’t feel the love anymore and I’m worried she is just changing tune because I’m finally moving on. I feel if I stay with her things will slowly return to how they were. Should I continue to try to make things work with my wife?”
