Hello, everyone I know its been a while since I have been on. But I need some very much needed advice. Well my husband and I have been seperated for a while now. Alot of due to lack of communication and drifting apart. For the last 3 months we have been taking things slow. We first got back together in 2005 without knowing anything about eachother. Then things just went down hill at the end of the seperation. We are now in the middle of a divorce. Which we both agree maybe it is for the best. But now that we have been taking things one day at a time, we both of learned so much about eachother. He has even told me that he has misses me and that he really loves who I am inside and out. Iv told him the same thing plus more. As I still love him and will always be inlove with him, he has moved me so much with his spirit and emotions. When I told him this he said that he got a feeling in his stomach that he couldnt explain but did note that he felt a connection when I said that. I then asked him if he felt what we are doing now is helping us out and getting better and he said yes. He also said he isnt holding onto alot of hope but does want to see where this all takes us. Lately the way hes been talking to me and such it seems he wants to give it another try. But for some reason he seems scared. So I am asking for any advice that I can get. Also please feel free to give me your opinions on what you think.
Thanks and happy mylotting

you can wait for a change in your husband's behavoiur rather than taking divorce from him.he had said that he misses u and u too misses him.so wait for some time and make the most of this time favourable.i think he wants to share the entire life wid u and u tooooo wanna d same.so pls wait and see how d things goes on

I would love for that to happen but the divorce is already going through, but we have decided that we are going to do what a married couple would do and that we are also going to work really hard and open up to each other. plus the way we see it there's a possibility that marriage could happen again but only when the time is right this time around.

Relationships and marraige are about a commitment to live together. It is hard to leave someone who you love.
The thing is, if you get together again are you going to drift back to your old ways or are you going to renew your commitment to work together? Relationships takes both parties to work together, to communicate. Will you both do that? I feel that you will but you have to set the ground rules for both of you to achieve this.
It is easy to say but never easy to do.
I do wish you all the very best in life and love.
Take care.

Hello, I can honestly say that we both will not drift back to our old ways as we discussed the other night while texting each other that we will take the last 3 hours each day and focus on just us two and talk. since we were missing the whole point of opening up to each other. We never did that and we both have started to do that now and we both told each other that we want to keep doing this even after things happen. I feel we will have the strength to make things work this time since we know what we need to do this time around.

Contrary to popular belief, true love does take work. Don't allow pride keep you apart. I know a couple that married and divorced three times. It was no more than a power struggle. After the fighting was done, they got married. Concentrate on the important stuff. You seem to already know that communication is key in ALL relationships. Work it out. True love is something you don't really want to let go of. True love, like life is about learning and growing as people. I always say that if you never argue with your true love, you probably have the wrong on. Sometimes the roughest roads will end up with the best view. Deep down in your heart, you already know what to do and if you have true love. Make the choice!!

Hello, well you so have a point there. I know I told him not to long ago that relationships and marriages take work and that its not gonna be easy or perfect. He then realized that I was right on that. Then he decided that we can take things slow and work on communication. Which lately it has worked very well. We just got done planning our first hangout day. So that is going to be a blast. All in All things are going very smoothly so far.

The way I see it, maybe he is hesitant because he is afraid that he can't give what you expect him to. Maybe he is a kind of guy that still wants to explore a lot of things for himself, someone that loves you but still wants to be free in a way.Although I am sure that you are not the demanding kind, but maybe he has seen it in some relationships he knew and he is worried it might happen to him too.
We all have a need to be committed to the person we love, but there is something in us that we want for ourself ,for our own development and we sometimes feel we are put in a square box when we are in a relationship. You know that kind of setup where the person must know everything that we do.

Hi Seppy1984... There's a saying... "We are for who we are..." Things might have change and time might have passed by.. but the same love might occur again and even might occur all over again from the start. You know, something we should consider is that there are guys who is afraid of commitment.Yes the guy might love you,even head over heels, but he is just afraid or too soft to stand for commitment. Is this true? yes, maybe... It affects most of the guys. You have to talk to him..."What makes him more than of a man when she is with you..." I mean you might have a conversation about his insecurities and probably where are his emotions when you are out of her sight. By his response, you might find the answer on what you are both looking for. I am not expert of anything, but you need to give it a try. Do not let it pass that one day you will be sorry because of a wrong decision.
Sometimes, guys matured up and realizes something along the way, especially about love... And maybe this is it. You may not be my personal friend or have known you personally.. But please, tell the guy that a lot of your friends wanted that the love for both of you will bloom a lot lovelier this time. Build the confidence in him... And guide him with this confidence he is slowly building. And if you give this one another try... Hold on to it.. its your other side of responsibility... to keep him around when he says He wanted to stay.
Cheers! have a wonderful day ahead for both of you.

Hi Seppy! I am filled with joy whenever I see or hear a couple that has found their way back to hug each other's arms. You are both are so lucky that you are still giving each other a chance to work on with your relationship, or marriage, I should say. The love, respect and the fondness for each other is still there. Honestly, there are 2 things that are lacking in your relationship: 1.) you don't take the risk of trusting each other, that you will not anymore get separated. 2.) you lack "GOD" in your relationship. When your relationship is CHRISTO-CENTRIC, or God is the center of your relationship, even strong that storm is, you will still be together.
I will surely pray for you and your husband to continue the marriage that you have and you both may find the joy that you are looking for. Godbless!

It seems that both of you are interested to give each other a second chance at love. I am happy for both of you, that you were able to take the time out and think things over. I guess that is what mature love is. Because of your narration I think you already know what to do, even your husband might be hesitant about jumping back into your old yet remodeled relationships. Separation has made you realize the good points about each other.

Hi,I see there is no reason for you guys to get separated. You both love each other & have strong feelings for each other. I would say give it another shot. But before that, make few things clear. Why he's scared of the patch-up if he's willing to? Talk to him & clear all the misunderstandings between you both. Do not lose someone who is true & loves you a lot. wish you a happy & successful life.
