    separation after 9 years of marriage

    I 100% agree with you guys that she has moved on. The only reason why i go through couple's therapy is to keep it all civil for the sake of the kids.

    separation after 9 years of marriage

    Lots of what you say rings very true. She always avoids pulling the trigger letting the flow of life dictate the outcome. She takes it to an absurd extremes as when arguing about something i tried to show that there are times she will have to make hard choices. I used hyperbolic example of me...

    separation after 9 years of marriage

    This definitely is a red flag to me. Choosing her community instead of being with the father of her children through good and now bad. If this were to move forward together again, i have to ask myself if i want someone like that as my, as you call it, 1st officer. Where do i find " married with...

    separation after 9 years of marriage

    I general i agree with that statement but it's also her way of confronting her profound indecision. Every piece of furniture, every house object, every kid toy in our house is here because i pulled the trigger - not because i, as she presumes, have desire to control everything but rather because...

    separation after 9 years of marriage

    UPDATE: So we had our first couple's therapy session and in many ways it went great. "It seems that by moving out you are trying to prove to your husband that you can manage it on your own." "Yeah, kinda" "So you prove that to him and then what?" [no answer] The therapist was great asking the...

    separation after 9 years of marriage

    We had a business together - a small film production company where she did post and i filmed. Every other year we would get a big job - in the past 7 years 3 big jobs were responsible for 45% of the income. 2 years ago we came into some extra savings that could be used for a modest down payment...

    separation after 9 years of marriage

    I ordered the book just now. I'm infusing myself with a mountain of content to understand the issue (of course, this is my style based on personality type). I'm just not sure that she's doing the same. Discovering the personality types and how closely we fit into our own archetype was a huge...

    separation after 9 years of marriage

    I think we differ on fundamental philosophical issues. I need hyperbolic scenarios to bring out my emotions into my logical equation. If the Titanic was sinking and her friends believed that to save ourselves we need to go Right while my logical deduction said Left, I'm not certain that she...

    Based on Myers-Briggs type indicator guide, she's ENFP - enthusiastic, charismatic,energetic, creative and independent. She has great people skills (though sometimes overwhelming others with her energy) understanding what others are feeling. Though she's great at generating ideas, she isn't...

    separation after 9 years of marriage

    The separation was kind her idea but i totally agree it would be healthy. The move to her childhood town is her idea that i reluctantly accepted.

One of them was a girl who i ended up marrying for 9 years. Fast forward to today. 2 beautiful children (3 and 6 yo) and my...
