Am Confused and Devastated

by Bukola
(Nigeria)

Am a married woman and I got married June 2011. Exactly 3 months after my wedding, my husband traveled to USA for his MSc. Since then I haven't seen him. We kept talking on phone and he kept promising to come home for the past 4 months now.


Lately I notice that there is no cordial relationship between us anymore. I don't feel anything for him. There is nothing like connectivity. I told him this but he said we will work it out.

Again, I discovered that he doesn't want to come home again. He's so desperate of staying there. I tried to go and meet him but it's just too expensive. Now I am stuck here with loneliness. Please help.

"You gave us counseling without making either one of us feel that you were taking sides.
You always maintained your impartiality with us. You encouraged Rita to be more assertive in stating what she wanted to get from your counseling sessions, as well as what she wanted to get from the relationship.
You taught both of us better communication between ourselves, which lead to an emotional comfort level between us that didn't exist before.
You took control of the direction of the session if things were not moving along.
Thanks so much
for helping us."
