Help save our friendship and teamwork. It has changed/ended in the last 4 weeks. For most of the last 25 yrs, we have been the ying and yang of a great team, family and carriers in the same industry. We have been the rock and center of both our families as they all went through many devoirs. My Wife’s mom as been through 5 of them, moreover is a fan of devoirs and moving on!! However, now my wife suggest, she is done with ours, without getting any HELP! We both have lots of issues, especially from our lack of family support. I strongly, believe in expert help with everything…. education, taxes, investments, parenting, life, and most of all, relationships. However, this is our biggest disagreement, that has been going on for 25 years. So how can I get her to want EXPERT HELP?? Moreover believe in the expert advice out there?
How do I fine expert help, moreover get her to go?

Dear Team AMP,
Being happily married, I can offer you this:
1) Marraige is like a garden, it needs to be tended and weeded
2) Never assume what your spouse is thinking, always ask
if you're unsure
3) Arguements solve nothing, wait until you are both clear headed and have time to devote to talking about the subjects
in an adult manner with your cell phones turned off and the children not present.
4) Make a list of what the issues are and stick to
discussing them, not making excuses or bringing
each others family into the equation.
5) Maybe, just maybe, your wife doesn't want you to rely on the "experts" to fix your marraige, she wants YOU to do it
on your own.
I sincerely hopes this helps, Good Luck and God Bless.

Youre on a one way street by yourself here. Other then getting the courts to order marriage counseling ( nothing guarateed here) you cant just make her go against her will just because you want it so. Also if both wont go voluntarily and want the same ending, willing to do whatever it takes, marriage counseling will never work and the most that would happen would be to stall the inevitable. Youre in a basically no-win situation here and probably can only hope to get out with your shirt on. A one sided mariage counsel wont help here especially if she is hell-bent on the divorce unless you have some miracles stored away. Sorry about my answer but Ive seen way too many of marriages end this way.

Experts, smexperts! NO ONE can tell you how to repair your marriage if your not interested in fixing the marriage and it sounds to me like your wife wants out. A marriage can ONLY be saved when both parties want to save it.

I assume you mean "divorce" not "devoirs". It's admirable that you're willing to work so hard to save your marriage. Unfortunately, unless she gets on board with you, there's nothing you can do. It takes two to have a marriage, to make a marriage, and to save a marriage.
Good luck!

I'm sorry about the pain that you and your wife are going through but you can't force someone to try to get professional help if they don't want to. You can try going by yourself to talk to a counselor to help you deal with the pain you're in. I wish you the best of luck.

that's a toughy, in numerous procedures. I do understand your anger and frustration. And, coping with this 3 hundred and sixty 5 days after 3 hundred and sixty 5 days ought to attempt the persistence of a saint. my very very own father exceeded final week, and that i could been looking after him 13 hours daily, seven days a week. The final 4 days, I stayed 24 hours an afternoon. I hated it. My spouse hated it. Heck, my canine hated it. no longer something made me do it. yet, I had basically one father, and he became into basically going to die as quickly as. All i can recommend is that if your husband wasn't an excellent, goodhearted guy; he does no longer experience love and legal duty for his mom. And, if he wasn't what he's, you probable does no longer have fallen in love, and married him. the downside of having a goodhearted husband is that he DOES experience an obligation to his mom- whether she's is a awful human, and stupidly self detrimental. you're probable superb suited, and he or she is a whiny, manipulative, slob. So? She IS his mom. i do no longer blame you for being unhappy. i do no longer blame you for no longer wanting to stay along with her and her smoke. yet yet. do no longer go stay aside out of your husband. He does choose your help and help. i do no longer care in case you ought to stay with a mask and air tank. stay. Your husband is familiar with the way you experience approximately his mom, and in case you chew your toungue, smile, and go stay with Mrs. stupid Chimmney- your husband will by no potential forget approximately which you have been there whilst he mandatory you. Heck, think of how hideous it may be if she became into to flow in with you and your husband. See, on a similar time as undesirable as that's- it ought to be worse. i be attentive to that as quickly as my Father mandatory me, if my spouse hadn't been supportive, i could by no potential have forgotten that as quickly as push got here to shove- i could no longer assume her. that would have destroyed our marriage.

all you can do is ask her to go with you and if she does great but if she dont then you should still go anyway.. you need it and like you said you have issues also.. and if shes wanting to leave and not change her mind then you will benefit with the counsoling. good luck

I suggest marriage counseling, however, it will only work if BOTH of you are willing to try it and work at it.
