She has to know that I know she's just telling me what I want to hear. " Look, I've thought about what I said that night and I was wrong to say it so I apologize( she should apologize to him). I know that we've only had a few positive weeks, but they've been very good weeks and I don't see the need for counseling. We've obviously found a recipe for success in these last few weeks and this shouldn't be a problem as long as we keep doing what we're doing. ( about our son) " sure he's a pain sometimes but he's my pain and I love him *giggles*. I think its great what you two are doing"
I believe the tone of your posts has changed Irish. For better or worse, you don't sound as though you respect your wife now (ie: giggles). I get that it's easy to vent online, and it can be helpful too, but perhaps it's time to stop looking for validation here, and concentrate on saving your marriage, if that's indeed what you want.
funny how she thinks "it's great what you two are doing!" but yet refuses to be a part of it. Irish, just how much patronizing has to go over your head before you realize she's not the damn bit interested in your feelings? Just keep the dinners and gifts flowing. You don't seem to understand anything else. Save yourself the trouble and expense of the therapy and just accept your lot in life.

So she doesn't see herself as any part of any solution, judging by that statement. What exactly does she think the 2 of you are doing?

terrible advice and I hope you are being facetious.
Yes OP's tone has changed drastically. One word answers. Did all the criticism hurt your feelings? make you regret this entire reaching out for help? Some of us are really trying to help with what limited information we have. We all realize there are two sides to every story and we are only getting one side but you sound defeated. you are way too young to give up on happiness.It's sad when people don't fight for the right to fulfill their potential. You almost seem to think 36 is old, in fact you said you are too old to find love again. that simply is not true.
Please answer our questions about seeking legal advice. Will you go to attorney to find out how to protect yourself and your son?

As for the short answers, I only keep my answers short because, and I'm being serious, it would take a very long time to type the answer I would give you, so I keep them short and sweet. The legal advice is hard to deal with. I have a prenuptial agreement. For me going to an attorney's office would be painful and she has said she doesn't want a divorce.
