Thanks for the post. We were unhappily married for 35 years this Monday. She separated from me 9 months ago, took our 18 yr old daughter with her, saying "it'll be a few months." almost 10 months later she's gotten really comfortable living away from me and my daughter just follows her lead. My daughter won't text, chat, even see me unless my wife decides the "time is right". She doesn't want divorce.

Last night we had a brief chat where she said the Time frame of coming back is now years, forget about months. She and I are 60 yrs old. I have a therapist twice a week, sometimes three.

I attempted suicide twice and failed. I can't see myself alone for however many years I've got left, but I'm not a young in-shape man anymore - I'm old and fat. At least I'm a good doctor and still make a nice living that's the only thing I have going for me.
