Hi, I have been married for six years to the most beutiful woman in the world. I am a 42 year old male.I was out of work for almost three years and I have a drinking problem. my wife has been telling me for a year now that she was not happy any more.I've been working a new job now for about 3 months and I quit drinking completley for about a month. I have not been intament with my wife for a long time because she told me that she was not attracted to my drinking.I should of stoped drinking then and took my wife in my arms but I choose to drink with my freinds instead.The reason why I'm writing you is that now that I quit drinking and I finaly went back to work now my wife told me that she dosn't want to be married any more and that she wants me to move out. she also has been going out with a girl freind and not coming home untill the next day when I'm at work .there are no words to explain how much I love my wife.I don't want to loose her but I feel like I already have.I'm willing to do anything to regain my wife's love for me. Do you think that I still have a chance or was I a fool for to long not to listen to my wife's need and wants'Any advise from any one even if your a reader I would deeply appreciate and thank you for your time.
