    Im trying to save my marriage. I became fully focused on saving it when I gave up my life to Jesus Christ. I truly believe that it's his plan. Thank you I'm experiencing all of these stuff.

    I moved out back in June of ‘23 and it’s been so peaceful ever since. I still play and active role in my kids lives and openly communicate I’d like things to work out. I’m doing the work to improve, heal and grow.

    Why is marriage hard? Life is hard and relationships take skills. Do you truly value your spouse? Remember you can only control you. Two wrongs don't make a right. Be safe, be healthy. No excuses. Confusion is of the adversary. Be strong in the L-rd. 🙏

    I had to put my husband out because he was meeting up with a younger woman over months and I just couldn’t put up with his behaviour. I love my husband of 36 years and I don’t want to let him go. He seems to think the grass is greener on the other side and I just feel heartbroken. 💔

    well, my wife separated from my (packed her things and took the dog) from my house last November. Our court date is set for February. it seems like the end. I tried everything you guys suggested. followed the self improvement(PIES), gave her space. let time do its thing, did my own thing for a little bit, but nothing worked. I don’t know what this means and am currently lost to be honest. I want to fix things and I want to give it time but I fear that it’s dead and gone. I don’t know what to do anymore.

    Focus on you, not saving your marriage. Love is a falling action, not something that is forced. It’s like trying to fall asleep by thinking about falling asleep. Let go and be your best self. That’s how to save it.

    My wife of 21 years and I had a rough couple of years and need some help. We had lost the connection and we were arguing. So she chose to have an emotional affair, moved out and last October and started having a physical affair and know her affair partner is living with her. I did Marriage Helper Save My Marriage, but I think my wife is in too deep. I know that her affair relationship won't last, but its really disturbing watching her act like this guy is her forever after and how fast the affair relationship is moving. Hope and pray.

    After my wife's adultery there was turmoil in the house, obviously. She suggested that we have a healing separation and I was convinced, and still am, that she just wanted a vacation from dealing with her cheating. I was offended and moved to divorce not long after. If she's not doing the work, I'm not doing a separation. Total joke. And I would say that divorce ends the marriage, but it doesn't end the relationship. You can still marry each other again.

    Why would you want a man who hasn’t spoken to you all for a month? Please go work on yourself and be the best Mom you can be. Help your kids accept the truth of your situation and get them counseling as well. I pray you’re part of a faith community and have family and friends around you all as well. You’re better off living in truth and free from abuse. 💜🙏

    "Why would you want a man who hasn't spoken to you in a month?" The answer should be obvious! And you're missing a huge piece of the puzzle here; he's hurting, too. In a different way, but he is. No contact is typically a defense mechanism to cover the guilt and/or shame of what they are doing or, it's a way to keep their resolve, because if they were to face their spouse they may begin to second guess their decisions.

    The best thing you can do is focus on you and your kids. You cannot control what he is doing but you don't have to put up with abuse of any nature. It may be a defense mechanism (while my H was in his affair he got abusive a few times too and it got bad, he was NEVER like that before) when he came out of limerance things got much better as he started working on us and past his guilt. You cannot MAKE your husband come home nor can you make him be a better person, the good news is you can do better for you. Work on your PIES and Smart contact with your husband and shine bright! It is hard but it will be okay. So sorry for your pain
