My wife and I have been together for ten years and married for 6 of them. We have four childeren together ( I have one from prev relationship, she had two from prev relationship and on together) and have become a very close and tight family until recently. For the last six months our marriage has changed a bit as things do when stress and life's problems arise and we have gotten into quite a few very intense verbal arguments. After this last one she took the kids and left me. I was in shock but when she called the next day she said she has been depressed and hurt over how we have become to each other and doesn't know what she is goin to do. We have talked and cried alot since then(it has now been a week) and she has still not moved back home with the kids. She says she does not know when she can for fear of bein so devastated again but has let me see and talk to the kids every day. I have told her that I want to work on our marriage and do whatever it takes ( couseling etc..) but she needs to come home so we can work on this together. Which leaves me to here today. I feel so lost and depressed I just don't know what to do. Being in our home that we have made together all alone is driving me almost insane where I feel like I am being haunted by our memories. She and I both break down in tears when we talk but I am still alone. I don't know if this is " normal " for a woman to act in such a manner after being so emotionally hurt or is she as lost as I am. I would greatly appreciate any advice anyone may have for me escpecially a ladies point of view.
