Q.   Been married for 28 years - have two teenage children. My wife has said she has no feelings for me any longer and wants to separate. I am so hurt and upset. She has admitted the separation is purely selfish on her part but does not want to thin...

A.   30 May 2014: I agree that this limbo is now way to live. I know you wanted this year to "fix" things, but it's clear that she is not interested in that right now, and being close to you is pushing her away. All hope is not lost however. Being truly separate... (read in full...)

A.   21 May 2014: I would have been there for her verbally, but obviously intimacy with you at this point is not on her wish list, so you should avoid it. Right now it's more likely to push her away then bring her back. If it's appropriate again you will probably... (read in full...)

A.   18 May 2014: I think at this stage your judgment is probably clouded, so it's hard to say if there was anything going on. I know that when things were rough between my wife and I every time her phone twitched I got paranoid. One thing you need to realize ... (read in full...)

A.   12 May 2014: No your behavior us not normal, and you know it, so stop. I think you have an accusatory mind, so that you literally are looking for reasons to get upset with your boyfriend. Literally! What you found is a picture he'd taken before that he o... (read in full...)

A.   10 May 2014: That situation is both good and bad. At least being away from each other could give her time to miss and appreciate you. Without a little space she may start resenting you. So I'd definitely give her room. My wife and I went through a similar ... (read in full...)
