Here are some of the things my wife has said over the last few weeks:

Day after dropping bomb: "it wouldn't matter if you made a million dollars tomorrow. I know how I feel and my feelings won't change"

"I love you but I don't have that feeling for you anymore"

"I want to get on with my life"

"Don't talk bad about me to the kids"

"If you were a pr**k this would be so much easier"

"The kids adore you which makes this so much harder"

"Telling you I wanted out has been the hardest thing I have ever had to do"

"If you had just fixed it we would probably not be at this point"

About OM: "One has nothing to do with the other. The calls didn't start until after I told you this wasn't working and I asked you to move out" "I don't have to answer to you"

My refusal to leave: "the normal way is that the mother and kids stay in the house and the husband moves out"

"I just want to be happy, not have to worry all the time and I want a normal life"

This is just a sampling of what has been said. I am quite sure that many here can relate to hearing the same thing.

One other note...I have been resisting to get her call phone bill for evidence of her frequent calls to the OM. What should I do?
