Hello, I’m Glen and I’m struggling
I’ve been with my wife 21 years & roughly 7 years ago sinned and allowed infidelity into my life for a brief period. I then begin to cope with alcohol heavily up until this past July 4th, sober since. These past 7 years I’ve asked for forgiveness from the lord and my wife & thought thing were going well after I quit drinking in July. A month ago she tells me she’s no longer in love with me and it’s been several years, she’s still hurt and cannot forget the infidelity and the compounding drinking where I wasn’t there enough for her or my 2 youngest . She said she don’t want a husband in her life, fell out of love and don’t know if she can love again and wants space. She’s setup an appt to see a divorce lawyer early January .
I’m shattered, lost, confused, so heartbroken , she’s my soulmate, I’ve completely turned my lifestyle around and want to sacrifice my needs for hers, going to therapy, have turned hard in prayer with God every day for guidance (which I should have done more often), my therapist has me reading Love to Dare, which is a fantastic book.
She won’t go to counseling with me and has cold shouldered me hard.
Has anyone been through this and recovered?! Anyone else read that book & been in this situation, I feel I’m too late with the hook because I cannot do all these dares, she wants me to eat her be and have space. I’m going to finish the book I’m half way thru , maybe leave her a copy and hope she reads it. Is it to late, can I earn my wife’s love back? She’s my world and it’s disappearing.
