...See more My wife of 17 years has been acting distant and the evening after Christmas I asked if she loved me and she said yes. I asked if she was still in love with me and she said no. She told me that she lost herself a while ago and she kept telling herself that she was better off with me even though she was unhappy. We both have issues... She bottles things up because of past childhood trauma. I am way more emotional and in touch with my feelings. I began to become clingy and paranoid the last few years because I saw patterns that seemed so familiar. 11 years ago she cheated on me physically with one man and emotionally online with multiple. I forgave and moved on for time but those triggers brought it all back. Now I feel lost and in so much pain. I'm sleeping on the couch and feel so alone. I was not expecting her to say she wasn't in love with me any more. I am mad at her for keeping this all in and not working through the issues together. I'm scared for the future. I don't know how to be alone. I thrive with affection and intamacy and I do not know how to go on with out that for months, a year?
