Just lately she has become very attached to me and the other night admitted she can't seem to enjoy herself anymore while shes away from me because shes always thinking about me and misses me to much. She says this started suddenly after she'd gone through abit of a stressful time but doesn't know why shes started feeling this way and can't seem to stop it. When shes at work she can't seem to go throguh a day without it feeling like hell because it feels as if shes not going to see me again when she is but its really affecting her work when shes on her own or on her breaks and lunch. She says she thinks she'd be alright if we were in the same building or only 5minutes away from each other which is why it confuses her so much because shes never had this before and doesnt see why she feels this why. Shes a teacher and i work for a car company and we work about a 15minute drive away from each other athough she works about a 5minute walk from where we live. If we had the same dinner times i could ring her but we don't and we both have work to do and both have friends at work. But its really getting to her emotionally and its showing, she just doesn't seem right. It took her afew weeks to finally tell me because she doesn't find it very easy to talk to people if she has probably and she didn't think id understand which i do and she knows that. I really don't know what to do here but it needs to get sorted. Any advice?

 Look up "separation anxiety". It's pretty common with kids who are going off to school. There are a lot of tips to wean them off you. Maybe try some of these practices. It isn't healthy for your wife to have these feelings. If the two of you are not successful I'd seek professional help. Your such a caring husband. Good luck to both of you.

 Hi it seems as though your wife has come to depend on you in her stressful time and she can't seem to stop depending on you x you can't move your work, nor can she, however this situation does need to be resolved and i think the best way is to let her know you love her throughout her day- maybe you could leave her text messages or stick little notes in her pockets and her handbag this way she will know that you care about her and these notes may help break up the day xxx good luck xx
