My wife and I have had horrible argumets,we have been ogether around 8yrs we have kids from our first marriage no kids together.This is not the first time we separated.I have pk and left before,but this time is different, I love my wife but we don't communicate well.we have different views on how to raise our kids and she feel I'm not hard on my son.I didn't leave cause of my son but cause we have been talking down to each other walking around the house like strangers,kids don't know what to expect and how to respond,so I just OK one day when she was gone took one of the TV and left with my son,so my question how do I now try and make our friendship work cause I do miss my wife?

Marriage counseling would be a good idea. You two need to learn to communicate with each other, and you have to learn that just because things get tough, doesn't mean you just pack up and leave.

Have either of you made an effort to keep this relationship alive?
