As some of you know, i am married with 4 children (3 from my first marriage), have a heart malfunction, and have been a stay at home dad for 10 years, and homeschooling 3 of the 4 kids., well, after 10 years of marriage, my wife has confronted me with a separation and is moving out.
while she says things like "there hasent been an us for along time"
"Im unhappy""depressed" and "I dont love you like I used to"
I dont think there is anyone else involved, because shes home all the time, doesnt call anyone..and spends alot of time in bed or reading..
but you guys know how our minds work..
Ive officially "owned" my part in the downturn of my marriage..
Im willing to change "because I need to"..Im staying at home and shes getting an apartment a block away!, we are sharing the one vehicle we have.. and pretty much going along business as usual
While Im really confused by all this going on, its hard finding a job after 10 years of not working and finding something to suit my health concerns., I want my family to stay together, guys please pray for me!, Im begging!

prayer on the way.

could she just be depressed? spending a lot of time in bed is one of the symptoms of depression. Praying

I'm praying for you now and will be praying throughout the day. I can really relate to where you are right now, I was in a similar place not long ago. If possible, I strongly recommend you and your wife read a book together called Sacred Marriage by Gary L. Thomas.

I'll also be praying, Mindcage. Also, I would recomment you getting and following through with the book "The Love Dare".

Well Sue, to be honest, Ive spent alot of time worrying and vocalizing over the past 10 years about my ex wife, I basically taped a picture of my ex on my wifes face. Ive lived in fear (protecting myself), rather than living in love.
plus the financial burden for taking care of me and my kids from the first marriage, has got to difficult for her (kids always giving a hard time)
She told me that and I quote "Im sure, that deep down inside, I do love you..
who else would put up with you"
as far as depression, yes!.. I believe she is, but is putting up a fight on getting any help., we moved away from family..so we dont have any close by.. so the jist is this, we live apart, go business as usual...she wants to spend the holidays alone this year...she really dont have any friends, so it seems like she's isolating herself....Im scared for her!
so please keep praying...Anyone who's willing.

well, the nightmares have started, I keep waking up in a panic.
thoughts keep rushing...
my wife wont commit to trying to work things out yet, and honestly has a neg view of men all together. she keeps saying she doesn't need a man to make her happy. so when she moves out...she wants me to respect her privacy..
maybe I'm in too much of a hurry for resolution.. this is one of the hardest
times I've ever had... so please keep praying for me.
