I’ve been married for 17 years with 2 kids. I’ve done a lot of mistakes and hurt my wife emotionally over and over again. I cheated virtually with another woman that I haven’t seen in person, I lied for so many times. I was threatened by my other woman that she will ruined my family if I leave her. That is the reason why I keep on staying with her even if I really wanted to leave her. I finally decided to give up my wrong doings for the sake of my family and to make things right and clean all my mess. But I guess I was too late. Now my wife is not ready to forgive me and seems she wanted to part ways away from me. I really wanted to save our marriage. Please I need advice on how to again convince her to give me another chance even for the last time.

Hi,
My wife of 13 years just decided that she doesn’t love me anymore and is no longer happy with the marriage. This started this
2020 when we had a long silent fight and when I tried to reconcile with her last Christmas 2020 she decided that we should separate. We have 2 kids ages 11 and 9 and I really want to save my marriage. There was no third party involved and there was problems about money as far as I know. She just lost her love and affection to me and I am hurting so much right now. Is there a chance to get your service as marriage counselor and maybe convince her to undergo counseling with me?

Good day, Ms. Nova. I would like to seek marriage counseling. Is the satelite office in Don Bosco Makati still open? I see that this post was dated years ago already. We have been married for 10 years but we have intimacy issues since then that we rarely make love in a year (almost never for the last 10 years) even if we are together. I already asked him if he has another woman, but he said he doesn’t have one. I thought I am happy already with my family life since he’s a good father to our 9yo daughter, but I don’t feel his love for me anymore. Moreover, his anger management bothers me. He never hurt me and our daughter but he’s very arrogant towards others and to me. We talked about it yearly but I am really fed up since he doesn’t seem to even acknowledge that we have a problem and he thinks that since we are doing our routines at home so he feels that we’re just okay. I do not want our daughter to have a broken family but I also cannot tolerate and see myself spending my whole life like this. Hoping for some help. Thanks in advance. Have a blessed day.

people indeed change. he wasnt like this before. after 28 years, has has become obnoxious, mean, talkative, judgmental, a certified basher of all things bright and beautiful. He is a houseband. I work and give him money. He usually “sumbat” what good he does for me, for our children.
i cant stand him most of the time. I didnt expect that we would end up like this. I am intellectual. He is NOT.

Hi Nova!

I am a Senior High School teacher of Philosophy of Man. Marriage is one of our main topics.

When I search the Internet on how to prepare for MARRIAGE, what I get are sites that takl about how to prepare for the WEDDING.

Would you know of any outfit that helps couples prepare for marriage aside from EDUCHILD and the short pre-Cana seminar?

Thanks!

Erik

good evening,
my husband and i having a long distance relationship.
we were suggest to do counselling.
dahil sa chat nalaman ko ang mga secrets nya from his past relationship which is hurt po talaga. at dahil malayo kami sa isat isa nakakagawa sya ng mali.
nagkakaroon ng mahinang pagtitiwala at madaling akung magalit dahil sa kanyang maling gawain.
minsan day off nya sa work madalas inaantok kung kausapin ang mga bata at ramdam mo na walang interest kausap. tapus pag uuwi sya at para magkabasyon madalas gusyo nyang mag stay sa kanyang mga magulang
1 month lang ang kanyang bakasyon sa pilipinas tapus kaming pamilya nya parang 1 linggo lang sya mag stayq. gusto ko ng i give up kasi nauulit nya. at hndi ko alam kung hanggang saan ako makakatiis.
saan makombinse ko syang mag pa counsel.
nahihirapan ako.pls advice po.thanks

I want to be a marriage/family counselor in the future, can you help me understand the steps I need to take to become one? What college degree should I need to take up? is faith-based counselors also a licensed counselor?

Hi, Nova.

I’m looking for a counselor who can help our family heal. Our problem started when one of my brothers stole a huge amount of money from our mother , when she was just recovering from a stroke. He didn’t only steal once, but repeatedly. He didn’t admit it until I found out. We’ve been to a family counselor, but he just got angry during the session. I sent him to a psychiatrist for individual counseling, but he didn’t like it. Currently, he has disconnected himself from the family. He still lives with our mother, but is hardly home, and when he’s home, he locks himself in his room. We cannot contact him via mobile, email, social media. To make matters worse, our youngest brother is already modelling his behavior of lying and stealing from our mother. What can I do to help our family? Looking forward to your advice. Thank you very much!

In reply to Bea.

Hi Bea, it must be emotionally heavy and painful for you to learn about your boyfriend’s conversation with your co-worker. Add to that is the fact that he installed dating apps early this year, which can make you feel betrayed.

Your boyfriend probably doesn’t feel emotionally secured upon learning of your past. And that is not uncommon. But then the things that you did, the things that he asked you to do, and the things he did — deactivating your social media accounts, confessing to your mom, installing dating apps, that convo with his co-worker (assuming it is true) — are probably too much for the purpose of assuaging his emotional insecurity.

You must not be condemned based from your past, and he must not continue doing so. Your world seems to be revolving around him, that you spend a lot of energy making your relationship work.

I do not have an advice except to take care of yourself emotionally and not make your future depend on him. I understand that he is an important part of you, so much so that what he said and did torments you. But then only time and his efforts can tell what you really mean to him and if he could make peace with your past. Between now and then, all you can do is love and accept yourself.

If he couldn’t find it in him to accept you and your past, then he is not probably the right man for you. A big part of loving is accepting.
