My gut is 50/50; my heart doesn’t want to let go and my brain says it’s time to move on.
My wife and I have been married for 20 years and together for 27. We have four children together the youngest is 11 and the oldest is 19. The last couple of years, we drifted apart to the point where my wife “checked out” of our marriage and started a relationship/affair/transitional partner.
That said, we are still friends and still seemingly don’t want this to end . The biggest concern is that my wife doesn’t seem to want to pull the trigger on making the commitment to make something happen. I’m at a loss. It takes two. I don’t want to be over but I’m also tired of spinning my wheels.You’re right – it does take two. Your wife may see doing nothing as akin to not rocking the boat. But, in your marriage, it has the opposite effect.
