...See more Hello everyone. I am currently separated from my wife. We are still living in the same home. She barely speaks to me and I've tried everything. She hasn't asked me to leave. We also have 3 kids that are hers. I'm the stepdad. She won't talk to me unless she has to. I've done research on attachment theory and she fits the dismissive avoidant to the letter. I definitely am working on my anxious tendencies. But the lack of talking, especially intimacy is driving me crazy. I miss touch so much. I just miss her. I just don't know what to do. Any advice?

...See more I wouldn't mind chatting with someone other than the listeners. If anyone is interested please connect with me here. Send a message and what not. Not for anyone specific.

...See more Physical touch deprived. Wife hasn't kissed or hugged me in over a year. Silent treatment. In home separated. This is not at all what I pictured marriage to be like. I miss it. Yet can't do anything about it. We've talked about things. But it doesn't help.
