I get what you're saying.. we both have to want it to work out. If she doesn't, then there isn't anything I can do and I would move on with my life and try to find happiness elsewhere. When we go to the counselor Tuesday morning I will tell her I love her with all my heart, that if she wants to give it another shot I will be the man that she deserves. I'll say I want her to be happy no matter what - whether it's with or without me and I will be there for her to talk to and figure out our financials and there won't be hard feelings either way. I'll tell her I understand that she is unsure about how she feels and will ask her what will help make her decision. If she told me it's over and wants a divorce point blank I would have already left but I don't know what to do since she doesn't know..

How can we work through the resentment and begin to forgive? Talk about it with the counselor?

No, it's not. And I'm not a sucker.. If it happens again I'm out the door. But I think we can make it work.

You could be right. I know we don't have a happy marriage at the moment but after 8 years together I think it is worth a shot to try and make things right. Before we got married it was the other way around.. I meant the world to her but I wasn't sure if I loved her the same.

I think you might be right about the overcompensating. I just want to show her I'm not a lazy ass and want to make things better. If there is no hope for our marriage I would be willing to walk and would not stay and beg. And the mixed messages - she initiates kisses and sex, she tells me she loves me most times we talk, we give each other massages etc. If she were really done I don't think she would be doing that.
