Re: Wife wants "space" and is moving out

I think 1okgal has nailed it. It reminds me of my wife when we were first married.

She was starved of hugs and touch because I wasn't that type. That was her love language however and when I learned that it became part of me. Never say never. If that is her need you can learn it. That is part of love. Read the Five languages of Love by Dr Chapman.

She also couldn't face leaving her baby when it arrived. Personally I would have loved her to keep on working as I felt financially vulnerable. However I sensed that that was wrong and her calling was to be a full time mother. She has done an amazing job and the children have grown up with all the love and nurture a mother can give and have turned out stable and fine. I never regret that. Financially we survived and now we even prosper. I thank God that I was able to make the right decisions at that time.
