Well not sure if I am posting this in the right area, but here goes.
together 12yrs married 10yrs 8 year old son
Four days after our 10th, my wife said she wanted a divorce. Now 2 months later in the begginning of May I moved out. Since she has asked for the divorce she has not brought us up once and I have been behaving myself after the first couple of days of doing all the "dont's". Now where I get really confused with her is that in the begginning she wanted all the bills seperated, accounts switched so we would not have any thing holding us together or as she said I would not be able to access her cell phone. Now that I have moved out, since she did say she wanted to "move on" still, she has invited me over for dinner or wanted to go out to dinner 5 of the last seven days and wants to go out for breakfast for Mothers day. Just the other day she also let me know that she changed our cellphone plan to increase the minutes, but she kept the phones together, she also re-installed our insurance for another year. I guess my main question is that even though I never wanted to be seperated or divorced, I had in a way given up hope. Now she seems to be doing everything as if we are trying but without saying that we are. Are these actions something normal and mean nothing, or with her possibly trying to see if she still wants to be married to me or not. I hate confusion in my life right now, but do not want to say or do anything to screw it up if that is what she is trying.
The biggest problem in our marriage and it was big now that I look back at it, is that I have been an alcoholic my entire adult life, never abusive toward her or anyone, just not emotionally or physically thier for her. What really sucks is that I went into rehab and it was after two weeks in it that she told me she wanted the divorce. Oh, by the way I still have not gone back to drinking and do not plan on it either way and still dry after 2 months. Just don't really want to give up the hope just yet.
Thanks
