My wife and I went through marriage counseling twice a month for nearly 2 years following my discovery of her 2-year emotional affair. Nearly 3 years later, I feel like we are still at the very first step. She is still as disconnected as ever and I find myself seeing a future without her because I just can't bear to continue living in such an isolated and painful marriage on a daily basis. My No. 1 love language is physical touch and there has been no kissing, holding hands, cuddling, hugging at all for years now. And she never smiles at me and I even when we talk I can hear her disdain for me in her voice.
I feel I've been a very, very patient man, especially since she hurt me so much from disconnecting in our marriage. At what point do you just call it quits and move on? I have been praying and pondering this for months now. It is troubling since we have two adult children and one more still in high school. So many things to consider. I have been praying for peace and a breakthrough for years now but to no avail.
Hope drifting away daily nearly 3 years post discovery
