Perkypower,

Hi, well, 24 years is a long time together to just one day up and leave. I know it happens a lot these days, narcissism is rampant and people always are trying to find happiness. I've been married for nearly 36 years and somedays my wife and I wonder why. Seems like there is nothing to keep us together. The kids are grown and gone and we have 6 grandkids.

Then one day it all changed, my wife became more athletic and started losing weight. I used to beg her to be active with me and she wouldn't. I had a female friend that I took walks with, had dinner with and rode bikes with. My wife found out and that was the catylist for her change. She felt I was having an affair, I never did anything with her but, I guess it hurt her. Now she has reservations about our relationship. I still love my wife very much and want to stay with her.
I think it will work out. My mental illness and all this emotional pressure is taking a toll on me. I just try to take one day at a time and hope for the best.

Good luck to you,
