I am praying for Jim and his family. I have also been married for 10 1/2 years. My wife and I have five children. Two weeks ago, my wife told me that she no longer loves me. It is, as she sees it, entirely my fault. I have betrayed her. The betrayal took the form of hurtful words I have spoken over the years, when I become overly frustrated about not having sexual intimacy often enough. I had an interest, and she had much less interest. I would say "if you don't feel for me, I don't feel for you," or "maybe I should just leave," or "I've had it with you, I'm fed up with this, you are cold and might as well be a nun." I would sometimes call her "Sister Mary Ignatius." That is the worst I did, but it was bad enough. It drove her to a decision that she no longer loves me. We have a 1 year old. Our oldest is 7. I am doing all that I can to convey my true love to her, and ask for forgiveness, and a second chance. Obviously, I want to save my marriage. I have not heard anything from her about being interested in another man. It is bad enough, as it is. I ask for prayers, as well. I know the pain and anguish Jim is probably feeling. I have not been able to eat or sleep for two weeks. Marriage is a very hard thing to succeed at. More than 50% end in divorce. Why do we do it, in the first place? Why do we fall in love, and take a chance? If only I had kept my frustrations to myself.
