Hello J,
Kudos for joining this platform and more importantly for the self awareness and trying to do something about the situation. You clearly love your wife and don't want to lose her, which is great.
Have you always had that problem or is it a new thing?
Are you consistently and regularly doing anything for your self care? Do you have friends or family that you can vent to?
When last did you have a full checkup at the hospital?
Sending you warmth and hugs.

Hi Buzz,
I believe it really started after her health started taking a turn for the worse. I've never been one to show or share feelings, so when it was needed more than ever it fell very short and has been eating away at our marriage for a long time. I have very often treated her unfairly and still expected her to take care of the same things as she did before the health got worse.

She was trying to explain to me that she's always been there fighting for me throughout the years but when it comes to her, she's alone and nobody fights for her.

which is going a bit beyond my original "think before speaking" post. But it is all important and she's not sure if we can recover from the crumbling of our marriage foundation.
