Recently divorced but missing my ex wife

So here's my story. Was married for little over 2yrs. Together for 6 years. We've shared a lot of great memories. Been through are fair share of ups and downs. We both don't do drugs and sober. We've traveled out of the country and across the country and live life to the fullest. She is my soulmate my best friend and my everything. She has always got my back if I needed her. We have stayed truthful and loyal to one another.
Well about year and half ago we had our first child, son. Born premature and spent 180days in the NICU (neonatal intensive care unit). My wife had endured a lot in that pregnancy. Lots of stress in that period. Well not long after our son came home, about 2 months, my wife was pregnant again. Long story short, we lost our second child and devastated.
This ordeal started the decline of our marriage. Lots of blaming and arguments etc... She said I was not there emotionally for her in time of need. I thought I was but I take responsibility for all my flaws. I regrettably blamed her for the loss of our child out of anger and during an argument. YES, that was a low blow and I sincerel apologized to her about my comment. She sadly has not forgiven me and rightfully so. Not long after in October last year decided to file for divorce and served with papers after I dared her. Yes I'm an idiot thinking she wouldn't do it but she did. But shortly after reconcile and had a great Christmas holiday with few arguments in between.
New year was different and saw a decline again in the marriage. One of our recent argument, I called her out and said to her to finish and make the divorce final. I just said it thinking she still love me and wouldn't do it,Well guess what, she did. So after getting home the other day she told me she's moving out of state with our son.
As you can imagine, I'm devastated. Hurt and lost and betrayed. I helped her pack her thing in a trailer, spent the day with her and our son. We talked about about our life and situation and what are plans are etc. all the while I'm heartbroken to know they are leaving later that night.
She says time will tell. I asked her if it was ok for me to cling on "hope" and possibly reunited again as a family, she says yes. She also said nothing is for sure at this point. She just wants to figure herself out and time will tell.
Its been about a day now since they left and I feel like crap. Lots of emotions right now and deservedly so. Btw she had left me before for about a week to her parents before we got married with kids. She returned because she misses and loves me.
Back to my story. I know I gotta giver her space and as I'm typing this I got a text message that she wants to skype. Should I just ignore her for now. I'm confused. I simply want her back with our son and be a family again. I am far from perfect. What should do or don't do to win her back?

Unsure where I stand...

New to this site and am posting for the first time. Hoping this can start to help me at home to communicate with my husband. Maybe a short history...

We've been married 4.5 years together for about 6, and communication has been a sore subject and the point of many arguments over the years, more often in last year or even 6 months. My husband and I have very different styles of communicating, and maybe that comes with our age (he's 49, I'm 32) but either way, im worried that were in this vicious cycle and just can't get out.

I'll admit it, I'm not great at communication, im a very introverted person, I don't talk about my own feelings, but I try to often ask my husband how he
S doing, or if I feel something is on his mind, what that is. I'm not good at keeping a conversation going, nor am I good at philosophical conversation, or what that entails. My husband is good at all of it, including reminding me time and again what conversations we've had and how nothing has changed, despite that fact that I feel I've tried very hard to be more in tuned with his moods, and more interested in his (now) job of being a writer.

I feel like it's always left up to me to ask what's bothering him, and when I do, it's usually the same thing (me) and what I'm not doing to give him what he needs.

I've tried, I'm afraid this time there's no repairing. The last time we had a conversation about it, was about a month ago. I feel like the arguments are getting closer together, and there's no time to improve or get counseling or really have a noticeable change before the next onslaught of arguing...

Anybody out there with any insite, advise or anything? Please I love my husband dearly, and I just want him to be happy.

Thanks

Really stupid sh!t

Everyone must know of stupid sh!t that goes on where they live, be it city councils, school boards libraries etc.

I noticed one day while picking my girls up from school, all the school buses lined up out front with the students boarding them. As I was leaving the parking lot, one of the buses pulled out drive 20 feet and put on the flashing lights. The door opened and a kid got off and walked across the street.

I couldn't believe this, the kid lived right across the street from the school and takes the bus!!! My daughter says the kid is in her class and actually catches the bus to school too!!!
Funny thing is the kid's mother will walk to the edge of the street and wait for him to get off the bus!!!

I thought to myself, "you lazy b!tch!!!" You can't walk across the street to get your child from the school?? No wonder my taxes are so fvcking high!!!

Feeling bummed about weight and intimacy

Little bummed tonight. I came home from the movies and told my DH about how this very unattractive woman hit on me at the theatre. I made a comment like "so this is what I've been reduced to.....I only attract old men and repulsive women" and he didn't say anything. I felt devastated because we haven't been intimate in a sexual way for over 8 years. I guess I was just hoping he would recognize how hard I've been working at it and tell me it wouldn't always be that way.

I realize how overweight I am (160 pounds heavier than when we met) but have been trying to lose weight without much success. The meds I'm on for Bipolar Disorder change your metabolism a bit and I have a thyroid disorder almost to the point of thyroid disease. It's not that weight loss is impossible, it is just extremely and painfully difficult.

We are giving each other gym memberships through our insurance company for Valentine's day. It's a sweet deal, only $25 per person/month and it gives access to dozens of different gyms in the area like Curves, Anytime Fitness, LA Fitness and some of the other local ones. I love going to Curves because I'm able to do the machines at my own pace and to the best of my ability. Every time I leave there feeling good about myself both physically and mentally.

I guess my question is for the guys mainly: do you think it's possible to rekindle a physical relationship after being unattracted to someone for so long? I don't think I'm hideous or anything....have a beautiful face, good hygiene and wear trendy hair styles and makeup. It just never seems to be enough and I totally get it because men are usually attracted with their eyes. :( Would he have suggested the gym membership for both of us if he wasn't at least interested?

Sorry for the whine....I don't even have cheese to offer at my pity party. I just feel incapable of attracting anyone who is attractive and since my husband agreed with his silence, it's really hard to hear.

Hope

Where do I stand?

  • Thread Starter

So, I've had a major crush on this guy for a year. He's quite reserved so doesn't have loads of friends but enjoys my company. Last year we were spending loads of time together, at the cinema, grabbing drinks etc just the two of us and I thought he liked me too. Then I found out he has a girlfriend who he'd failed to ever mention... :( since then, however, they have broken up.[/COLOR][COLOR=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961)]
[/COLOR]
[COLOR=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961)]Before Christmas we were seeing each other most days and he even invited me over for drinks at his ridiculously late at night meaning I ended up staying over and sharing a bed with him, more than once, and he kissed me. [/COLOR]
[COLOR=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961)]
[/COLOR]
[COLOR=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961)]But since then its been the holidays at uni and we live really far apart so didnt see each other but stayed in contact. Arriving back at uni I had exams, but he still came to say hi and distract me for a bit most days, but now he has exams. I havent seen him properly since we've been back, tried inviting him to meet up but he just pretended he hadnt seen my invite and carried on our normal conversation...[/COLOR]
[COLOR=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961)]
[/COLOR]
[COLOR=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961)]I just want to know where people think I stand because I still reeeeally like him, but its starting to feel a lot like I'm wasting my time :([/COLOR]

Mess up with girls

  • Thread Starter

Hi,

A bit of background. I had health problems through school which caused me to go 55% deaf. I struggled with social aspects and took a step back from everything. It's pretty difficult to interact when you can't hear. As a result I have no friends so I will consider myself socially behind.

Since university, jobs and social clubs, I've managed to gain some of the missing skills being forced into situations I wouldn't normally put myself in and now I wear hearing aids, I have more confidence and am catching up on my social skills.

I am part of a social club and I get a long with the guys there very well; I have met a lot of acquaintances. Although I don't do so well with the girls. They have somehow :confused: figured out I don't like to hug. I've never said I don't like it so they must of figured out because I don't launch into hug mode on greeting but in my head I'm equally not going to hug every girl I meet. What happens if I do and they don't like that and think it is very forward and get offended. Although I'm not keen on hugging either I over think it. It ends up to be an awkward mess :$

There was also a situation where we worked in groups and a group member would of had to invade your personal space. It was a girl. A girl that I really liked too. She said oh sorry I'm a bit close I won't ... and I said ok. Any other normal guy would of loved it and said ok. Although I'm more curious how she along with others figured out I might not like it.

Where am I going wrong am I giving off bad body language? I don't want to be like hugging and kissing every girl; well I do really I do but I don't want to be perceived as trying to hit on or flirting.


Thanks

Indifference is the worst thing ever

  • Thread Starter

When someone is basically indifferent to your existence. Especially when you're emotionally invested in them.

I'd even prefer it if she was upset with me...

Are soul mates real?

  • Thread Starter

Well as the titles says, are soul mates real?

I ask all that reads this because I feel like I incomplete, my life feels like a very big game of hide and seek because I feel like my whole purpose in life is to find my "other half", the half which completes me as edgy as that sounds.

I know others might feel the same way, I think its to do with humans being social beings but is there anyone else here who feels like they are playing the game?

I'm bicurious and confused.com

  • Thread Starter

I recently started to like girls and have kissed a few but they always dnt want to take it further than that. It's so confusing because I feel sensitive about this subject and feel every time I make a move the other person is like no we should stop because they are straight. 😞 maybe I can only fantasise about it because my efforts are going to waste, my question therefore is
Are girls playing the shy card ? and is anyone else out there who feels this way?

Ladies, how much have you researched into the male psychology before..

  • Thread Starter

How much have you really read into the male psychology before getting into a long term relationship?

So I've been looking to get married soon, I've not really had proper relationships in the past. In order to be two steps ahead, I am actively reading into the male psychology and what makes us different. I've watched a couple of scientific documentaries and read quite a few articles on how men think.

Should I ask her out...?

  • Thread Starter

There's a girl in my college that I got to know last summer. We became really good friends and rumours quickly came out that she liked me. I really liked her too but we never got together because we're both really shy and one of her really close family members recently passed away and she became really depressed. I kept trying to be a good friend and by New Years everybody was talking about when/if we were going to get together because it was blatantly obvious that we were spending a lot of time together and we were literally always texting each other.

And then suddenly, while I was away over New Years, one of our close friends texted me to tell me that she didn't like me. We texted each other about it and decided that we didn't want any of the awkwardness but wanted to still be really good friends.

But during the past month though, she's been getting closer than ever to me, and rumours have started to circulate that she's changed her mind. We spend almost every free lesson together and she's started talking about prom and going away and really personal stuff... But I'm not 100% certain that she has actually changed her mind, and I feel that asking her out would just make the whole situation awkward.

I want us to get together more than anything though, any advice? :(

He doesn't care!

  • Thread Starter

Hi

I have been with a guy for a while, he is 23. Two weeks ago my Grandma died, I am pretty gutted at the fact my Granny died as I was really close to her and she was a big part of my life.

The thing is since this happened I'm starting to doubt if the guy I'm seeing cares about me as much as he has said in the past he does. When it happened and I told him he was pretty sympathetic about it but lately he's been upsetting me and making me feel worse.

When I was at her funeral after party thing (which he knew about) he was constantly texting me, even though I wasn't replying, he was texting me telling me how horny he was, then when I replied with ''I'm at my Grannies funeral!!!!!'' I got a reply saying ''How long do you think you are going to be, come over after?'', so I turned my phone off.

I didn't speak to him for a couple of days then he text me we had some small talk and he asked me how I was feeling, I said I was still feeling quite low and he said to me ''You need to cheer up!!!!''. At that point i just didn't bother to text him back and I haven't since despite him trying to contact me.

I'm sad and a little confused about what to do, he's my boyfriend and yeah I'm confused TSR.
