My husband of 16 years had an affair.He also has an anger problem.We are trying (or rather I am)to hold the marriage together but my husband shows little if any effort.Basically he has said he is 'sorry' but nothing in his everyday behaviour shows it.He makes a cup of tea now and again,folds a bit of laundry,never asks me out on a date or has made any effort to make me feel loved and cherished and that I am the only woman in his life.He has also just announced that he is off to Afghanistan for 6 months(he is a soldier).The problems are not resolved and he does not want to stay around to resolve them,rather he wants to seek fulfillment in his duty as this is what 'he' needs right now.Meanwhile I am left with 3 children,and many unresolved issues.How do you work on a relationship when you are in another country and apart for six months?Am I naive to think there is any hope left?
