Oh hun....theres nothing worse than being with someone who doesnt understand or doesnt even care, believe me ive been there done that. Maybe just try and talk to your wife really tell her how your feeling she deserves to know. If that doesnt work perhpas let her know how close you are of walking out, that might jolt her into doing something....but if your like me you give them a certain amount of time and then just walk out coz life's to short to continue like that. When i did that with my ex hubby i also had a one year old to care and look after. es

Thanks everyone for your words of encouragement and hope. I'm just twisted inside of my own head. I've a flood of intensely negative emotions I have to get thru and I'm sure I'll be OK. I tried so hard not to bring these things to light, but I just pushed the button and....
They are fears and frustrations that I've carried for a while. They come and they go with varying degrees of intensity. Last night they came in the form of something like a tsunami after an earthquake. It's difficult to navigate a relationship in these days and times. With the me first philosophy that is so predominant in our society, I can often feel the overwhelming desire to want to do the same. To have my cake and eat it, too. I want the benefits of surviving a long distance relationship with less of the pain and frustration that comes with it.
Thank you all for being so supportive and so understanding.
