    Married a little over a year; Wife walked out on me

    She said she was afraid to hurt me so that is why she didn't say anything. But being God fearing people it's hard for me to believe she would get married and not want to. she says she regretted everything then says she did used to love me then...

    Married a little over a year; Wife walked out on me

    I did not take as a red flag at the time. I figured ok I do not like that she does not make time for the wedding because of work. It was like asking your child to get out of bed in the morning for school. I was have to almost accomadate it to her schedule otherwise she was not flexible. It...

    I meant, she said she will never remarry because she would be committing adultry and that marriage is too much to handle for her.... I will read the book.

    Married a little over a year; Wife walked out on me

    I did I am going to buy it on my phone. :) thank you. Our couselor recommended we read Love Busters and I got it but she had not. That is not something I can read right now because it just brings up anxiety since it feels like I am not going to have a chance to use anything right now. The...

    Married a little over a year; Wife walked out on me

    I am 25 she is 23. She never had a serious relationship before me. We waited until we both graduated to get married. She is more deeply rooted in the mexican culture than I am since I am 3 generation in the US. She spent most of her life in mexico until she came to high school here. She was born...

    Married a little over a year; Wife walked out on me

    I will agree to disagree that being open with your spouse is important. Being the fact that she was coming home everyday with no intention for communication or any sort of affection was what I was dealing with for the past 2-3months did make me feel a little bit more needy. That is the only...

    Married a little over a year; Wife walked out on me

    Even so, I do not agree with the agreement that everybody see's that control here is an issue. Yes from the very get go finances should have been shared. But you also have to realize she had a voice as well and could have very easily gone to the bank and open a joint account. The fact is I was...

    Married a little over a year; Wife walked out on me

    I agree about the going out with friends. The first friday after work she had she went out and didnt tell me anything. I had dinner ready with every indication she was coming home. When she got home she said somehting happened at work and she had to stay late. This was 9-10pm on a friday, which...

    Married a little over a year; Wife walked out on me

    When it comes to worrying about what she is spending I am worried because where we reconcile or not, in Texas it is community property state so if she really wanted she could build up all this debt and since we are still married I would inherit her debt as well in a divorce. I went to go help...

    Married a little over a year; Wife walked out on me

    another thing she said was controlling is she should be able to befriend anybody she chooses which includes being able to text and talk to men. I thought it was inappropriate and not healthy for a marriage. In one instance, she was texting her boss which is a guy after work about everything...

    Married a little over a year; Wife walked out on me

    She is a US citizen and did not marry me for other reasons like that. She told me that the first three months of marriage were wonderful in counseling. That was when we were back home and we both had jobs. Coming to Houston really put alot of stress on us it seemed. It was only us two, we were...

    Married a little over a year; Wife walked out on me

    Thank you so much, Hetta. I remember when I had cancer I found a forum just like this for fellow testicular survivors and spouses and it really helped me. I know I can reflect on this and make myself a better husband. Thats all I want right now. For her to give me that chance. To give me some...

    Married a little over a year; Wife walked out on me

    I really want to resign from my job. April 2 will be exactly one year I have worked in Houston. I want to be around my family. I am so lonely here. The only friends I have are our married couple friends from church. They support us but have their own obligations and family. I know it is not...
