A male United States age 36-40, anonymous writes:

I don't love my wife any more and I can no longer tell her I love her anymore. I have a daughter at a young age and don't want to divorce but I feel that our relationship is hurting my child. I have a mental illness and can't deal with the emotions of my wife. I don't know how to deal and cope and my wife is un happy and doesn't seem to want to help or discuss our problem with a counsler. I don't know what to do its been like this for 5 of the 6 years we've been married.

blindbetty agony auntAt this point, think about YOU. See a counselor for yourself. You have to help yourself before you can make sound decisions. Have you been diagnosed by a professional? Are you on medication? Perhaps a separation could give you some distance for a while so that you can rest and think about the issues that are troubling your relationship and focus on how to fix them.

A female reader, Ms Me United Kingdom +, writes (15 October 2010):

If you don't love your wife and your relationship is having a bad effect on your child then I think you should move on. But the fact that you don't know this can only mean that you want this to work maybe for the sake of your child.

If you want to make it work focus on what made you initially fall in love with your wife ( I assume you once loved her?)and build on that. Try to be positive, pay your wife compliments and rekindle some of the old relationship. We all get wrapped up in our own emotions within a family unit be the bigger man and understand it must be the same for your wife.
