It happens....it's one of those things that All marriages go through.....you to press on and hopefully neither one of you quits or gives up.......
Press On.......it's just a phase.

This is a hard one, as I obviously don't know either of you, so it's difficult to give advice!
Generally you will be advised to go to counseling, and that may well be the correct advice, as I said I don't know, but I suppose if I were in your position, and wanted to save the relationship, then I would try anything and everything!
However if your Wife has gone beyond the candlelit meals, boxes of chocolates, hearts and flowers etc, as I suspect she has, then the time has come for complete honesty from both of you!
I would sit your Wife down and ask her to genuinely tell you what she really wants to do with her life, and if her future plans include you! Remember when you ask a question, be prepared to get an answer you don't like, if it is bad news, then surely it's better to know now, rather than clinging to false hopes!
She may be a little depressed, or perhaps she is worried about something, again I don't know, but I honestly believe the only way forward for you, is complete openness, I really do believe honesty is the foundation of any and all relationships! Remember you have to be honest with yourself first!!
I wish you the very best of luck!!

First you have to ask yourself if you want to reconcile the relationship, if the answer is YES, then your first step is to find out what went wrong and why she is no longer interested in you. Women are very sensitive and can easily feel neglected or sucked into the world of being nothing but a wife and mom and feel likes the world is passing them by. Sit down with your wife, then seek counseling. You should definitley try to make it work for the kids.
Good Luck!

Yes, this is a hard one. I would first attempt some reconciliation or "meeting of the minds". If that does not work, suck it up until you cannot take it any more.
If that does not work, find yourself another partner and move on.

Love can be revived but you have to get to the heart of it. Counseling really can help. Work hard at it without being a push over; the kids mental health is worth it.

I'd attemp a reconciliation. Counseling. Opening up the doors of communication.

Get a healthy internet porn habit. And tell your wife you'd rather not be bothered when you're online. Then hit it.
