He Asked for a Separation
12/01/2011

I just recently read your book, "The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands," hoping to save my marriage. It's AMAZING! I never realized how horrible I have treated my husband.  Thank you so much for giving me insight on how to be a good wife.

My husband and I have been together for 10 years and married for 8 years. We have gone through a lot. I had a rough childhood, on the other hand his parents were married until his dad passed away almost 4 years ago. We had 2 completely different childhoods. I took my bad experiences and related them to our daily lives. I didn't realize this until he asked for a separation. He is an amazing husband and father. I took advantage of him and he had finally had enough in October.

We have 2 young boys, 5 and 3 years old. We both have very stressful jobs and we work opposite night shifts so one parent is always with the boys.

I have done everything possible to make this work. He came home Oct 24th! Our marriage has improved. Neither of us has been truly happy - until now.

Thank you so much!

A.
