How do I talk to my husband about our marriage problems without relying on counseling?

Question - (24 March 2007) 2 Answers - (Newest, 25 March 2007)
A female United Kingdom age 51-59, *atrionac writes:

My husband and I separated 1 month ago. He left and set up a new home without much warning. We have 2 children. According to him there is noone else on his side and there is definitely noone else on my side.

I want to try marriage counselling to find out what went wrong, although I know it's because we've been having rows.

I think he just wants to move on and find someone else but I need him to tell me exactly what's going on and has there been someone else. I would find it easier to move on if that's what he want if he just told me how he felt.

What's the best way to approach this with him so that he comes clean and tells me what he wants (i.e. to stay or go) without starting an argument?

I've just discovered that he's internet dating, he doesn't yet know that I know. This is something he tried a few years ago when we had a temporary split then but it didn't result in anything.

Clearly this is not a good sign but I have left him pretty much to himself to try and give him space.

If there's noone else yet then I'd like to try and save my marriage but is that possible? How do I approach him now given that I know he's wanting to meet someone else?

home_land agony aunthello

the best way i see is to talk to him like you use to when you first meet him and if you feel that you love just be on his side becouse it might be that he want to have some space for him self at the moment . take it like that and think postive it might be that him coming at the weekend to viset will bring more happyniss to you and the kids more than befor do viset him meet some where drink some thing healthy together talk about things he likes try to see him again the way that was befor the kids and you allways can try if you love him?

good luck
