We're falling apart, and there's nothing I can do!
Hello everyone, I will try to keep it as short as possible.
The wife and I are from Syria, you know the country where it's going down since 2011. We're college sweethearts, we got married as soon as we graduated (2013) then I had to flee to a neighboring country and she followed me later on.
"Isolation" is the best word I can describe our lives with, I barely found a job since as Syrians, we're not allowed to work. We tried to hook her up with decent jobs, but we didn't find any, so she stayed at home.
Since she's stuck at home with no friends or kids, and I came back everyday angry from the people I deal with on a daily basis, we started to have fights like almost everyday. Even our sex life became dull to a point where I caught her watching porn many times, I don't blame her, it's totally on me. She takes care of her beauty and all but the stress is taking the desire away from me.
After a long process and favors from many people, we managed to send her back to Syria to see her family, and now she doesn't wanna come back! I understand it's hard to be away from her friends and family, but I'm really in the same boat with her. I will take sitting at home doing whatever I want over dealing with racist and disrespectful people any given day.
Finally, I convinced her to come back, but I feel that we really fell apart these 2 months, I don't know what to do, I thought maybe we should spice up our sex lives again, maybe we can remember what intimate passion feels like, but again, I don't know where to start from.
Sorry for the long post, but I'm really seeking some help. I don't want us to end up in a divorce or a cold relationship where it only lasts just because it became a part of our daily routine,
Thank you.
