Long-Term Separation, What Should a Man Do When He Misses His Wife? Three Men Speak Honestly
“Love is like chewing gum in the beginning; marriage is like chewing gum at the end.”
Love can be sweet, but marriage often brings bitterness. Some couples live apart for extended periods after marriage, spending less time together than when they were dating.
Women often ask men, “Why don’t you cherish me anymore? You had time for me during our dating days, why not now?”
The truth is, after marriage, men aren’t avoiding their wives. Life gets busier, pressures mount, and the sweetness of marriage can turn sour.
Living separately isn’t always a choice but a necessity for a better life or circumstances.
When men in long-term separations miss their wives, what can they do? Three men speak honestly.
Working Hard
Men work hard to provide the life their wives desire.
I once dated a guy who wrote me a letter saying, “Love isn’t just about being together; it’s about working hard to give you the life you want.”
Mr. Liu, separated from his wife for many years, never forgets his promise to provide a better life for her and a warm home for their children.
Despite the separation, Mr. Liu works tirelessly, fulfilling his duty as a responsible man and honoring his commitment to his family.
Some men, driven by lust, neglect work and responsibilities. But responsible men turn their love and commitment into motivation for work.
A good man knows how to provide for his wife, even in separation, and will work harder for her sake.
Visiting the Wife
A friend once said, “Disappointment, at times, is a form of happiness. It shows expectations and love, making disappointment a bittersweet happiness.”
My friend and her husband have been living apart. Every holiday, she hopes he will visit her, but he never does.
When asked why he doesn’t visit, her husband cited expensive travel costs as an excuse.
A man who truly loves you will make the effort to visit, showing that he values you.
If a man hesitates due to trivial reasons like travel costs, it questions the sincerity of his love. Love should outweigh material concerns.
Distance can create longing moments but can also lead to doubts and misunderstandings.
Video Call with the Wife
In today’s world, distances shrink with video calls and messages, keeping couples connected even when apart.
Mr. Ma, separated from his wife, often video calls her when missing her, chatting for hours.
Despite the separation, Mr. Ma finds solace in these virtual connections, maintaining his bond with his wife.
In a connected world, marriages can thrive even when separated physically, as long as there is genuine love and effort to stay connected.
Responsible men prioritize their relationships over distractions, understanding the importance of communication and commitment.
Love and marriage are about overcoming challenges together. Cherish those who are meant to be in your life, as finding someone to spend a lifetime with is precious.
Amidst countless encounters in life, meeting someone who chooses you among millions is a beautiful thing. Nurture your marriage and appreciate the journey together.
