What can I do to help her with her pain?

Gillian Answers:

Please get some counseling.  If Karin won't go with you, then you need to go yourself.  I am very concerned that you have mentioned ending your life.  You need to talk to someone who can be an objective listener.

A counselor could also help you learn some strategies for helping Karin with her pain -- one suggestion might be to listen to her talk instead of trying to solve her problems for her.

As I have said before: Actions speak louder than words.

aliciaLtin.gifYou mention that you have aplogized to Karin "again and again." After a while, apologies don't hold much weight. By going to counseling, you commit an action which speaks much more loudly than your words ever could. After you have been attending counseling regularly, Karin will see some proof of your level of committment to the relationship.

I am not sure if you were involved with this woman you met at work. Either way, it is apparent that there are some real trust issues in your relationship that need work.  This is something that would be good to explore if Karin is willing to attend counseling with you.

Finally, you don't mention how old Allyson is, but she might need someone to talk to as well. Please consider finding a counselor to help her out. She's had a lot of changes in her life so far.
