IAAP: Here's a question that I think you should ask yourself, right now.....
"Was I truly, TRULY happy in my marriage----or, is the most of my being upset, right now, because I don't like change----especially change that I can't control?"
Remember----this all came-about because you were complaining about your wife / marriage. I'm thinking, MAYBE, a large part of wanting your wife back has to do with just needing to end the miserable way you feel, right now----but, would it really end your misery? Think about it..... It might make you feel better----but, for how long----and, how TRULY / wholly? My thinking is NEITHER of you were happy, for a long, lonnnnnng time, before she left. Don't get your feelings of being lonely, not liking change, etc. confused with your TRUE feelings, about how your marriage was going, recently. Also, don't confuse how you're feeling about YOURSELF, with how the marriage was going, recently----it takes TWO, to tango----and, your wife had some responsibility in the relationship falling-apart, TOO!
