I feel a bit funny airing my issue here, but I really need help. My husband told me recently that he no longer loves me. He "cares" for me, but nothing more than that. He says he wants to work things out, but he spends a minimum of 1 hour a day talking to a female coworker that he swears is just a friend. He also takes her out to dinner and movies a few times a month. In fact they are out right now, since about 2 hours and he told me he doesn't know when he'll be home, so I shouldn't sit up worrying about him all night. Like I said, he swears over and over that they are just friends and he is not having an affair. He said that if he was, he would hide this "friendship" more than he is. For all I know, this could be a new wave, to hide an affair right under your nose! I know that we cannot continue to "try" to work things out if he continues to see/talk to her, but he told me to leave her out of it and he will not stop being friends with her and I will have to deal with it. I do not want to lose him, bad as this may sound, but I need prayer support #1, that this "friendship" would end so he can focus back on his marriage and family (1 3-y/o daughter) and #2, that he would find the love in his heart again. He says that deep down, it is still there, but he just doesn't know if those feelings will ever come back. Satan really has a hold of him now and I just don't know how to fight this. I believe in the power of prayer but I just don't think that my prayers alone are strong enough to fight this. Please, if you have 2 minutes to spare, think of me and say a prayer for me. I am desperately in love with this man and don't want to lose him. Thanks much.
Wow-definetley some red flags going on there!I pray that your dh will know God's will for your marriage!I pray that he loves and respects you enough to cut this female friend loose!I pray that she exits the scene out of conviction!
I usually don't check here (not sure why), but God brought your post to my attention today. I'm sorry I am so late getting here. My heart and most especially my prayers are going out to you. Hold fast to God; for He is the only one you can continually count on to meet your needs. I pray that your dh will come to his senses. That he will realize no matter how much he cares about any friend, his wife and most importantly God should ALWAYS come first. I pray that this friendship would dissolve and reconciliation with you will come about. I lift up your marriage and ask God to restore and strengthen it. I am so sorry you have to go through this, hon.

Try going to a marriage counselor. If your husband protest, emphasize how an un-bias professional sometimes is the only thing that can save marriages in situations like your.
Because he care about you and the family, this may be something he is willing to try.
In the mean time do all you can to keep your spirits up.
It may be hard for him to rekindle the love he expressed before, when your feeling low and let down. Without realizing it, a partner can create the very condition in you that is blocking those once expressed loving feelings.
This type of strain often creates a vicious cycle. Sometimes women have to pick themselves up to break this type of negative pattern.
When your relationship is restored, then you can reveal to him what happened and how he contributed to the ill condition. Hopefully this will keep him from repeating the same mistake over again Getting over humps, stumbling stones and mountainous obstacles are the things that make marriages last.
You are not alone in facing problems like this. It is just a matter of how you address it.
What ever you do, know my prayers are with you.
God Bless

I hope things are working out for you and I will keep you and your family in my prayers I went through something not exactly like that but my DH was gone for hours at a time with out me knowing where or with who, so while not the same I can empathize some. Just keep your faith.
I came across your message and I was immediately reminded of something I was reading, about a week ago. It kind of concerned something else entirely but I think you would find this very beneficial, even if your DH could read it. At least you would have the evidence you need to state your case with his *friendship*.
