My wife of 12 years (been together for 16) left me. She's been gone now for a month and a half living with her sister. We were having lots of financial problems and she says that she finally had a nervous breakdown. Since she's been gone it seems like I've gone through every emotion possible. She seems to have closed me out and her and me rarely talk at all. I hear from her mainly if she needs something usually. She said that the breakdown has made it hard for her to concentrate on anything but she said that she still loves Mr and doesn't want me going anywhere. I've tried being patient with her but she seems to have only closed me out, everyone else in her family gets treated as she usually treats them. Recently I told her that we should really start working on our relationship before it's too late. She agreed and said that she would. I also told her that we need to put a time frame on the separation. Because I don't want it dragging on and on forever. She asked how long I said about two to five months. She said that she didn't like that because it's pressuring her. But then she went ahead and agreed. During this separation we are still not communicating and not trying to work towards anything. Does anyone have a suggestion?
