By: Leslie Cane | 2011-04-28 | Break-up I often hear from people who are trying to come up with the best strategies for dealing with their spouse during a marital separation. The goal is to make their spouse want to come back to them and to be willing to save the marriage. To that end, one suggestion that is often given is to "ignore your spouse" or to use "reverse psychology" to make them more than willing to come back. read more
By: Leslie Cane | 2010-09-07 | Break-up I recently received an email from a wife who had just begun a separation from her husband. This was a very difficult time for her and she wasn't sure how she should proceed. She missed her husband and wanted to retain regular contact with him. However, she'd been advised to keep her distance and to give him the time to miss her so that he would eventually come back home. read more
By: Leslie Cane | 2010-10-25 | Break-up I often hear from wives who honestly feel that the separation that their husband is asking for means the end of their marriage. Very few of the wives who contact me feel good about the separation. Most see it as the first step on the unfortunate path to divorce. I often hear comments like: "my husband has just asked for a separation. I don't want one. I want to avoid this at all costs but I don't want to make things worse between us. What do I do?" read more
By: Leslie Cane | 2010-09-17 | Marriage I often get emails from wives who tell me that their husbands treat them badly. They run the gauntlet because every wife's definition of "bad treatment" is going to be different. Some women find it unacceptable when their husband doesn't treat them in the same compassionate way that they treat him, while others will be troubled by a relationship in which the wife is being hurt. In the following article, I will take a look at varying degrees of wives who feel that they deserve better. read more
By: Leslie Cane | 2010-03-26 | Marriage The other day, I received an email from a wife who was now living on her own. Her husband had left their home for what they were calling a "trial separation." She was a bit panicked because she was not at all ready for the marriage to end but she was afraid that this... read more
By: Leslie Cane | 2011-05-19 | Marriage I recently heard from a wife who was struggling with her feelings when many people told her that she was setting herself up for more pain and disappointment. She said, in part: "my husband and I have been separated for about three weeks. Even so, I can't stop loving him. I love my husband as much today even though we are separated as I did when we were first married. My friends tell me that I'm crazy and that I'm just asking for more disappointment But I can't seem to help it." read more

By: Leslie Cane | 2011-03-25 | Marriage I recently got heartbreaking correspondence from a young wife who was going through a separation. They had been separated for about a month because this is what the husband wanted. The wife's primary goal was ending the separation and getting back together. But she knew better than to push it. She'd read some of my articles and knew that I advocate moving very slowly and deliberately dur read more

By: Leslie Cane | 2011-07-22 | Marriage I recently heard from a wife whose husband had been telling her that he would always love her, but he still wasn't making any moves to come back home. She said, in part: "I've been trying to stay positive and upbeat. And this has helped a lot because I've noticed that when I do this, he reaches out more and he's not so reluctant to be around me. The other day, we were laughing about something and having a really nice time together and out of the blue he said: 'you know that I'll always love you. read more
By: Leslie Cane | 2011-03-23 | Marriage I often hear from people (usually wives) who are going through a separation (or considering one) and want the whole process to be over as soon as possible so that they can save their marriages. Many agreed to the separation because they saw no other way. It was clear that their husband was dead set on the separation so they figured this was better than a divorce. But now, they are in a situat read more
By: Leslie Cane | 2010-12-16 | Break-up I recently heard from a wife who was quite interested in seeing what her future might hold. After she and her husband had been having problems for several months, her husband told her that he felt they should "go their separate ways for a while" and see how things turned out after that. The wife wasn't sure exactly what he meant by that but it was pretty clear that he intended to move in with friends for a while. read more
By: Leslie Cane | 2011-05-03 | Break-up I often hear comments like: "my husband apparently doesn't love me any longer. He wasn't cruel when he told me this. He just told me that he couldn't go on this way anymore when he knew in his heart he didn't love me in the way that he should or in the way that I deserve. I am trying to comprehend all of this and determine what it means. We've both been under a great deal of stress financially and I feel like that is part of our problem. But my husband won't accept this." read more
By: Rosy Anderson | 2010-07-09 | Current Affairs A nagging question then would be whether there are any happy-ever-afters left in this world. Marriage is supposed to be one such channel in which to achieve this and most couples do manage to successfully circumvent their relationships from taking this collision course. But what happens when you have done all you can but it's still not enough to keep your husband from cheating on you? read more
