Widespread divorce is just another sign of how sick we have become as a society. So many people are choosing to destroy their families. To deprive their kids of the necessary role that each spouse fills in that childs development. Same goes for how common its become to cheat. Proof right in front of our faces we are on the wrong side of the peak.

Try to get her pregnant. She can’t leave you if she is pregnant

Marriage isnt about happiness. Its about commitment. You say the vows together. Everyone knows deep down a person who cant keep their vows cant be trusted. People are placing these expectations for their lives and then destroying themselves and their children when those expectations don’t get met. Like a petulant child. But they leave a wake of destruction behind them in pursuit of what?

And yes I understand completely toxic marriages exist. I'm talking about how many people just call it quits.

Dude, stop panicking. Relax and just be you. Compliment her, bring her coffee, text her once during the day.

Women are suckers for flattering.

You HAVE got to stop with this nonsense!!! Your job as a husband, or as person generally, is not to make someone else happy.

Like I alluded to, or maybe even outright said, in my previous post this is not likely to have been solely the fault of one single event or person. This situation is most likely to be the “culmination” of multiple things.

It doesn’t sound like you are taking kindly to the alcohol criticisms.

So consider this; if you think you are working too much, then she surely does. And, no offense, if you are making a teachers salary, you better be doing other things for her to feel fulfilled. Because it sounds like she has a pretty shitty deal brether

I would definitely sober up and take that seriously. You may not be an alcoholic but it sounds like your binge drinking is problematic & definitely adds fuel to your depression (& vice versa).

Tell her you need 90 days, you’re going totally sober. Then Dedicate the summer to connecting with her while out of school. Ease in to, don’t act entitled about it. shite, don’t even say it, just do it.

Dear Texas,

LINK =

I can’t recommend this book highly enough. Chuck C., actor Richard Chamberlain’s father, gifted in conveying spiritual messages in practical ways. It is specifically geared toward helping men in your exact situation.

It’s full of gold, & I suspect will speak right to you.

Again, I don’t wish to blame my wife. She has been my rock.


My dad always said men want sex, women want security. She wants you to be her rock. If she hasn’t said she wants divorce or cheated, it isn’t over. Work on yourself. Do what it takes to become mentally stable. It sounds like when you drink, you can’t be stable. Stop drinking. Eat better. Work out, and find a hobby that relaxes you. Tell her you love her and that she’s beautiful. Do these things and you will be ok, no matter what happens.

Yeah, I say this with charity, but she doesn't want a divorce, she wants you to grow up and show her signs that you're going to transition into being a reliable husband/hopefully father.

I've been there. Stop working it over in your head and rationalizing stuff. You seem pretty self-aware and smart, you're just battling some lingering boyhood immaturity. You know what the problems/solutions are, they're not changing.

You’re not that bad of a husband. Calm tfrick down, quit being so damn emotional, and lay off the booze for a while. Making grandiose admissions of failure to strangers on the internet won’t help anything either.

The more I read your posts, the more I’m thinking it’s her and not you. Not sure if that’s what you need to hear.

Honey, if you didn't want to go to the wedding you should have just said so. Hold your head up and stand up tall. This too shall pass.
