im sitting here right now in the public library with my wife, how is on the computer next to me, nothing wrong with that i hear you say....... but i dont know what to do to stop her crying.
i think she has just read a post or she may of even recieved an email , what it said i dont know but it has made her cry. i dont know what to do, i have asked her if she is ok, and i am showing intrest but i feel powerless to help her. she wont tell me what the matter is , i can only guess that its something that it not good.

((((((((((((((((((((Theyrealme and Kathryn))))))))))))))))))))))

I'm so sorry. It sounds like you are doing everything right but maybe your wife just needs to have a good cry. We, females, do feel better after we release the stress that builds up inside us.
I do hope your wife feels better soon and I'm praying you guys get your house.
Take care, thinking of you both,
Linda

I pray that things will get better soon... Faith

I just find it really sweet and kind of you to be so concerned. Even though I'm making a gross over generalization, most people would walk away, and attribute it to drama.

I can feel your concern, and I wish more people would feel and act that way, and stick by their SO (significant other) when it appears that there is no right answer or action.

I found that my ex-boyfriend would get even angrier and frustrated if I couldn't explain why I was crying or didn't know what he could to do to help, aside from holding me or simply being a presence near me.

The best thing one can do, in my humble opinion, is be readilly available when she can express what is troubling her and not automatically attribute it to something you did or something that can be fixed right away or if at all.

Thanks for caring. I haven't read the subsequent posts, so I might be repeating myself.

Cheers & say hi to East-Sussex ( if you pass through for me)

thanks for everyone to show that they care, i was writing a letter via email to our mp i allredy did this before but i thought i should tell him of our situation at the moment, but putting into words what we are feeling and the demons we are both fighting set the tears rolling, but i lost the letter and had to redo it today, again thank you all
