My wife of 23 years (partner for 30) has told me she no longer loves me as her husband and that our marriage is over. We are still living in the same house, but have not slept together for 10 weeks. She has told me that she cannot go on and that she does not want to seek counselling. We are giving it another 6 months at this arrangement to see if she changes her mind. She has told me that she probably won't. I'm devestated, i knew we had problems in our marriage but i didn't think she would be so stubborn about wanting to end it. I will do anyhing to save our marriage as i still love her deeply, unfortunately i think that i haven't shown this for a long time. We have 2 young kids 13 & 11 and as my wife has worked a lot of night shift over the past 7 -8 years i have spent a lot of time with them. I do not want to be the weekend father it seems i am destined to be & i still want to keep my family together, however my wife is non negotiable in her decision, she says we could "live like freinds" but i can't stand the thought of living with her if i can't have her. There has been no infidelity on either side & i can't imagine myself with anyone else. I fell so alone empty & hollow. i have expressed my feelings to her in a number of letters, but she doesn't respond. I feel like i have nothing in life, i'm going to lose the person I love, my kids & my house, i will left with about $200,000 and some furniture for 30 years of effort.
