Okay so I’m only 22[M], I know I’ll hear the whole “you have a whole life ahead of you” and I know that, but.. Last week my wife 22 of 2 years, we’ve been together for 4 and we have two kids, told me she didn’t love me anymore and it is indeed my fault. I won’t lie I wasn’t perfect, I’m still young and learning everything. I didn’t come to bed when shed ask me to, I didn’t chase her anymore, I was only showing much interest in her when it regarded sex. She felt that, and idk why I didn’t realize what I was doing. I never wanted to lose her. I’d give everything to re-do the last few months of my life so this didn’t happen. I didn’t even know our relationship was that bad, we had date nights every Saturday and spent all day talking and laughing together.

Anyways here’s what is bothering me the most, she is already trying to date. I asked her why and she said she wants to feel wanted. And that shit hurts. I know a couple of acquaintances of mine are talking to her. How do I deal with this? How do I let her go? How can I stop thinking about this? Why am I so worried about it?

When does it get better?

Edit: we also just signed a new lease at a place neither of us can afford without the other :)

Other edit: she’s also given me hope that we could be back together in the future, she says she has to love herself and find herself first. I’m not banking on that but the fact she did that makes it harder to get over.
