wifesgone Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 Well me and my wife spent the entire weekend together, we are currently separated and working out our problems. We watched this movie this weekend and bought the books "The Love Dare" This movie is amazing. I felt like it was our life, our relationship. I mean everything about it. It made me realize that tough times are still ahead but there is hope. But be prepared for . It really is a touching movie, and it fits the Walk Away wife Syndrome to a T. It will make you open your eyes sit back and really think about yourself.
PWSX3 Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 I have not seen it but I have heard a lot of good things from people that have.
reallygreatguy Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 I saw it this weekend too. My wife and I have been having serious problems for a long time. She asked me to watch it with her. She also scheduled a conselling session this friday. The movie made me think about things too, but I just don't want to stay with her........but I am now, for the kids!

There are many dynamics at work within your particular situation that without knowing the specifics, it's difficult to tell...

Her response have been up and down towards what i was doing from the book. But my situation is a long one to write about, i'll put it like this our situation is some what like the movie...

But my situation is a long one to write about, i'll put it like this our situation is some what like the movie... I don't think it would hurt, it may help her wake up, but, I don't know. Yes, I've seen the movie, it's very good.
Derek12b Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 My wife and I have been separated for going on 5 weeks now and I've finally calmed down and am just now coming to grips witht the fact shes gone. We have a "kinda" date set for later on this week and I am planning to watch it with her, if she will or I don't know. I have the kids all this week and she will have to think about things while I have the kids and hopefully she will come around. Right now she is in a "shutdown" mode. I cant say any more to her to get her to come back. I've said all I can say, so now I can only wait, and wait, and wait some more. I really love my wife and I've loved her since the day I saw her in my dorm the first day I went to I.U.. She is a WAW I know, but she has problems copping with issues and dealing with life. If she lives to be 1000 years old she will never meet anyone that cares for her like I do and loves our children like their father. Times like right now hurt me the most. When its late at night and I know shes out somewhere having a good time without me, but thats just the fact of this marriage. I never wanted to get married and I held out until I was 30 but.....damn I miss her smile and sweet taste. Good evening all and I will try to get her to watch the move this weekend.

Trust me bro I'm in the same boat as you, I miss my wife so much. All I've done is pray that she comes back. But hopefully we're on the right track cause we were pleasent today and she called and texted me, so we'll see. If you need someone to talk to bro I'm here. I watched it last night and I'm gonna give it to her this week at some point and hopefully she watches it before we meet to talk about whats gonna happen on Sunday.
Derek12b Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 CM2009, I feel for ya. Tonight I'll say a prayer for your family and I hope you will do the same for mine. When my wife moved out and back to her moms house, she moved back to her home town where she has TONS of support and its only 20 miles from here. I, on the other hand, am left in the house which is a log home in the middle of NOWHERE with out any friends or any one to talk to. I stay awake all night and pace the house. 2 weeks ago I was in a VERY dark place and the only thing that got me through was drinking JD and staring at a .45 on the table which told me I had options. I was hallucinating and having a nervous breakdown all at the same time. I'm in a better place now but its still awfull. Say a prayer my friend. I will!

I understand bro, I will say a prayer because to be honest thats all I can do and all I have is to pray. I left last Sunday man, I've never got booted out anywhere. I know about her having a ton of support cause I already know her family is at the house talking about me like a dog. But I know my wife still has love for me, I just hope and pray that its enough to save my marriage. Hopefully we took some what of a positive step because she coaches our son in bball and he had 3 games today (I had to work) but she called and texted me what happend and we were civil and had small talk which was good. She was tired today and I asked her can I take her to dinner not as her husband but as her friend which we were before we started dating, but I knew she was tired cause she had a long day, (plus she had a stroke last yr and her energy level isn't what it was) but I think she would've gone.
CM2009 Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 So my question should I watch the movie with her or give it to her and hope she watches it, we're currently seperated (space) and aren't living together right now??
LakesideDream Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 OK guys. I'm a single guy, almost 59 years old. Divorced 8+ years after a 25 year marriage. Is this a movie I should invest my time in seeing? What am I liable to gleen from it? My personal movie tastes run toward flicks with big lizards, or giant bugs and lots of guns in them. Oh I like the occasional dragon too... pure escapism. I watch Bridges of Madison County every two years, and it takes me three days to recover from the experiance. Thanks in advance for your advice.
LovieDove24 Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Ha, Lakeside. Is it bad that I find your post funny?
CM2009 Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 I don't think it would hurt, it may help her wake up, but, I don't know. Yes, I've seen the movie, it's very good. It's kind of hard to do a few of the challenges when your not living with then person right now
Author wifesgone Posted April 1, 2009 Author Posted April 1, 2009 It's kind of hard to do a few of the challenges when your not living with then person right now Yeah its real freaking hard. I have been trying my best. We watched the movie together and both got the books. She told me the other day she didn't think she needed to do the book so she tossed it to the side. I have still been doing it but questions and stuff I have had to ask through email, because we are not talking. I am on day 9 and it is hard, very hard to do when you are separated. If nothing else just read it.
CM2009 Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 yeah, I've tried to just read it because right now we're not staying together at the moment. So I just read, and pray about what I read I guess thats the onlt thing you can do. I'm on day 33, but she's turning around slowly so just keep at it and make sure your doing things from your heart, don't make it seem forced because it won't work. I want her to watch the movie before Sunday but with her and mines work schedule we won't be able to watch it together, so I'm wondering should I just give it to her and hopefully she'll watch when she get some time.
LakesideDream Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 Ha, Lakeside. Is it bad that I find your post funny? Not at all, I was trying to be humorous. The question remains unanswered however... would i profit from seeing the flick?
