Is it really change?
I know, KP is back on here and online and I can talk more to her so I should be happy.  I am more than happy, but I am also I think at a point w/ my wife where I am more convincing myself that I am leaving than deciding.....
So my question for today class, since you did so well on the love question yesterday is this....
*tounge being taken out of my cheek*
....As I have said here alot, my wife's big degense in the recent days is that I married her, not this "potential her" and I was wrong to do that.
Ok, but is she right?
Or, as maybe this small example shows, and yes I admit it is the best example I had and it is a lil weak....
I have told this story on here at least once so I will kepp it short for those that read me alot:
When we first met, the first two dates, we went afterwards to a park, it was dark but given where we were it was safe after dark.  We sat on a park bench and kissed for at least an hour or so.  It was great.
A mere 6 or 7 years later on our anniversary I had a fun idea on the spur of the moment, we went to dinner and had a nice time.  On the way home on a whim I drove to where tjis park was.  While still as safe, the years had made some of the area a little more developed.  Mainly a housing development was at one end of the park, so maybe you got a slight bit more foot traffic but not alot.  
I get "Why are we here?" with a look of concern
I sort off smile and say that Ihad this great romantic idea to sort of do what we did years ago.....NOT RE-LIVE, because I can hear that as a slight mur-mur out there.....just remember and kiss where we fell in love.
She rejects it saying we will get caught

Now listen, if this was a place we went as teens and now we are in out 30's and she saw this as some sort of trying to be kids again(and frankly where is that harm) I might get her point....
if it was an ABOUT SCHMIDT moment where they turned our park into a parking lot or it was part of the development now, then I get it....
If it was now a dangerous area, my friend at work lived and grew up in a part of Newark NJ in the late 50's that now I will not drive thru it is so bad...I get that
But it was all about fear and not wanting to be as romantic

Yes, again, I can hear my side of the gender isle yelling that women trap men and she got the "disease" many do that they eat wedding cake and get a bad reaction that makes them hate sex(a joke).
That is not it and frankly while I know it happens it is not fair to women as it is more a small minority than all or most...it is some at best...

So, while again I know this is a small example, it is one ....
Did I really marry one woman and get another....?
did I marry a woman and ask her to grow and change and that is not fair???(a question that we batted around alot on this blog in the past so my question there is less is it fair and more is that what happened)

Or what does this show if anything?

Can I suggest you don't try to figure out why. It will do your head in.
It's like one of your earlier posts about the GPS and how no matter how many detours you take - you will eventually get to where you are destined to be.

You have to decide in your heart why you are battling all this still - if you've discussed it with her and she's not happy either - then surely you should amicably end it - so both of you can find another life where you can both be happy? Does that make sense?
When only one party is unhappy it is tough, but your blogs lead me to think that both of you are unable .... and if you can fix it together then why stay and be miserable together?? ... am I being too harsh?

It seems to me that your marriage has entered to a point where the husband wants the sparks back in his life, while on the other hand the wife feels it is not as important anymore. This is a classic example of an unsatisfied husband looking for a new love (KP?).

Once again it takes two to fix this problem by good communication. Or may be by trying to do something exiting together without making her feels that it is the old spark that you are after. Do an exiting new hobby together, travelling somewhere interesting.... in the hope that both of you feel the connection again.

One thing to consider. In similar situation, some men end the marriage and start a new one. Once again you have to remember that you have to work hard to make it works. Once again it's not going to be a "second marriage & living happily ever after fairy tale".

I think you should just try to just get reacquainted with your wife w/o attempting to rekindle the spark then maybe she will unlock your vault of emotions for you. If she continues to resist you then it is time to move focus on loving yourself fist then another.

EASY...I agree and I am taking steps to move on. As I said in a comment on you blog I think it is many things that keep me here.
So I have decided that maybe it is best to solve them one at a time, and I am. It will take time, but a certain Aussie I love is in a situation that gives me some.
Trust me I am going to fix them in an order that makes ANY small. microscopic chance this can be saved a shot at working
