pthomas777 Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 About two years ago I began seeing a woman who was in the process of getting a divorce. Unfortunately, she married a man she had divorced previously. She believed he would stop drinking, etc. etc. Their divorce is almost final. Indifference is what has hurt my marriage. Her involvement with her family, her mother, kids, etc. has left me in the back of the bus. And, no matter how I pleaded - all I ever got was that I'm tired. However, I can't end my marriage just yet because we are in the middle of a major legal battle with fomer partners in a business. But, my wife knows where I stand. The other woman has asked for "space", yet she says she misses me and suggest we meet for intimacy. She cries when I give her, her space. When I try to pull away - she acts hurt, etc. She says I misunderstand her term of "space". I guess I can't see it any other way. What gives?
Owl Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 It sounds to me like she brought her share of troubles to the marital situation. What gives is probably how she treated her H as well. I could be wrong. But if things aren't going well now, I'm not sure how you could expect them to get better when forced to deal face to face with all the OTHER issues in a relationship. Finances, dealing with kids, wanting 'space'... I'd suggest that the two of you see a relationship counselor before you consider furthering your relationship.
