Wife Doesn’t Love Me Anymore

My wife of 11 years recently returned from Iraq and told me she didn’t love me anymore. After about a week of lavishing attention on her she broke down and told me she was in love with another man she met down there.

Soon she will be moving in with her new boyfriend and I will remain at our place with the kids so she can be close to them still during the separation period. She says that maybe it will turn out that this is not what she wants, and that she still cares about me.

I told her that because I loved her I would let her go, and if it was meant to be she would come back. How can I show her that our family is worth saving when I’m taking care of the kids while she’s caught up in this new whirlwind romance?

It’s a tough situation. You seem to have a mature attitude about it. Without knowing the background of your relationship it sounds like the separation and her attitude have caused her to make decisions that don’t include you. At this point about all you can do is be who you are and be a positive father to your kids.

Her new relationship will go where it goes. It may lead back to you. However, I would remind her that in spite of how you feel now, this sword cuts both ways. You’re going to be in a different situation and you’ll change because of it. In other words, once this happens both of you are going to be changing and if she wants to come back, perhaps you might not want her to. You might want to have one last conversation with her, pointing out that once she moves out, your relationship and your family will be changed forever.
