📹 How To Save Marriage On The Brink Of Divorce
Remember, easy and simple are not the same thing. These 3 principles include being grateful for your marriage and spouse so …
I am at a point where I don’t have any more time to wait. I don’t have the ability to push down the hurt and loneliness anymore. I have lived with this for 10 years. She isn’t interested in counseling, she isn’t interested in changing, we have reached a point where I can’t go on the way it is working.
Feels like I’m in a bad dream every now and then. We are separated and after 9 months I still miss her. I have worked on my PIES the moment I found Marriage Helper. You have kept me going all this time. The PIES do work and I even advise doing them when things are good in the marriage. We do see each other on occasion. Unfortunately, I have to work on my listening skills (with understanding, empathy, non-defensive, full attention, and attune). I failed but recognized what I did wrong. Hopefully, there will be another chance for me. Intellectual development has been very helpful here. There are some great books from John Gottman and Gary Chapman. First step is indeed to build back the relationship and trust, the emotional connection before anything can move to some sort of reconciliation. It’s a marathon and not a race. I do want to give up at times because that is easy. But I know that skills like listening are work and I haven’t mastered it yet. That gives me hope again that I haven’t tried everything yet and so I am still standing for the marriage.
This gives me hope. I am going through this right now. Husband wants out but I don’t-a lot of people tell me I need to accept it and let him out but I don’t want that. I want to heal my marriage. I’ll be honest the part of working on myself is the hardest part. Sort of feel like w social media and other women out there I am being compared to them but I am going to give it my all because I love my husband and want not only to save my marriage but get back that passion we had when we got married at the young age of 20 and 22
Don’t talk about relationship problems with spouse … Topics that bring positive talks. . Be best you spiritual -Be accepting and understanding of spouse. Be their best friend. -willing to forgive and learn to love again. But what if source needs to change? Be more accepting or attentive etc and they won’t?
I’m seventy ..I have been married three times. . it’s a long stupid story … But I had thought that my third marriage was going to be fine ..I loved him, and I knew he could be quiet sometimes, and seemed sad, at times, I always wanted to make him happy ! But the day We married, Just a few short hours after ..,As he sat in our living room, with his best friend. Hey spoke about a news story, and they has different views on the story ..as I listened at the sink washing dinner dishes, I thought about the story as well, and turned to say .. ” you know,I think ……” As I got to the word ” think “, my newly wed husband was up off the couch, knocking me onto the floor, pinning me down hard, with my arms pulled behind me, and he pulled one thumb back like he would have just as soon BREAK it !! He screamed in my ear, ” TAKE IT BACK ! TAKE IT BACK !!!” ..I has nothing to ” take back “, because I hadn’t even got a chance to finish what I was thinking!!? I met my third husband that day !! It never has gotten better !!
Totally get. My wife pretty much disconnected spiritually, emotionally and physically these past 7 years. I started wrong with the needy/clingy approach and now am just totally disconnected myself. She asked for me to step back and let her pursue me. Been trying to patiently wait for years now as it hasn’t happened.
My wife is not giving me another chance, told me she left me cause she didnt feel like i was her priority felt like i was second to everything else. Said she thinks i used sex to try and mend the relationship and didnt make anything better. The first part is mostly true but sex i was using to try and have a baby with her. She does not want to try and fix things, she filed for divorce on the 18th of december, does not want to try and start over. She told me that once the love is gone it is hard to get back, she told me too little too late and that she loves me but not in love with me
I’ve been married 13 years. There is no affairs involved. I know I have faults. We have started to butt heads over politics. I actually like that she has a different opinions than me, but she seems to devalue my opinions. With how things are these days I feel like I can’t talk to her. We got into a nasty fight. I said it was like I lost her to a cult, she called me an incel. I packed a bag and left the next morning. We have 3 kids. Honestly, I love my wife and don’t want to give her up, but everytime we have “the yearly fight” she starts talking divorce. It’s hard to keep going when it feels like they already quit.
first you assume the prize is worth the price…for more and more of us it is not. sadly reality says marriage is over as an institution, look at the stats! Numbers and trends are my job and reality often sucks; but is none the less reality. For those still trying to win at this game the best of luck and God bless you.
Around 9:55, Kimberly mentioned how a wife showed she accepted her husband, but didn’t give any indication to him that she accepted his affair. Could you please elaborate what that means/ looks like, exactly? How do you accept your spouse, while not accepting their affair? I’m having a hard time understanding how that doesn’t disrespect the wife herself.
If you have to fix your marriage it’s already over you have to go back to the one bad moment that started the beginning of the end of your marriage. The house the car, kids savings accounts, business etc is keeping a person locked in a relationship that could be horrible. To start completely over from scratch could mean living with parents or siblings like a teenager. This gives low self esteem sometimes only because you can’t support yourself at this time.
