Receive our newsletter"I am very much afraid my marriage is over. My wife went back to work full-time about a year ago and has changed, she now gets dressed up to go to work and often goes out with her friends in the evening. Our children aged 15 and 17 miss her and have started going round to friends’ houses rather than coming home. I spend a lot of time in the house on my own and everything has lost its appeal. My wife no longer seems to want me. What can I do to get her back?"
It sounds as if you and your wife are at different stages in your lives at the moment. No doubt all the time the children were growing up you went to work every day, bringing home the bread and now you may feel its time to slow down. On the other hand your wife may have been at home caring for the children who are now becoming independent, so she can get back to being a woman in her own right, rather than just a mother.
You need to court your wife again. Be creative, surprise her with something that you are pretty sure she will enjoy. Maybe there are some activities that you used to enjoy together, reactivate them, inject some fun into the relationship. It may be that she has become bored and this is an opportunity to put a little excitement back into your lives.
