I have been seperated for 3 weeks from my wife who I think is going through a mid life crisis/feeling taken for granted. I am trying to do a 180 because she is talking divorce and preparing to sell our house. I spoke with a coach the other day and she told me I should try to keep myself happy and try some new things to possibly get my wife's attention. I decided to take a short trip to Daytona beach (about a 4 or 5 hour drive for me) by myself. I told my wife because we have been sharing our children 3-4 days a weeks. She called me 3 hours later and told me how mad she was at me because one of her many complaints is that I never planned any getaways for the two of us. On top of the fact that I was going to spend money on myself around the holidays considering our money is kind of tight. She has had almost no income in 4 or 5 months(she's a realtor) and I have not witheld any of my income from her since the seperation. On top of it she went to a casino with her mother a couple of weeks ago spending $100. I plan on spending no more than $200-$300 for this short trip. She did mention twice that she thought I was taking someone with me (another woman) and I told her no I was not. I have always been faithful to my wife. When she called me she was so mad I folded and said it wasn't set in stone that I was going but she continued by saying it didn't matter, That just me thinking about going made her finalize her decision about divorce. Should I go??? I am scared of pushing her to divorce me. The only reason I decided to go was because what the coach had said and I hoped maybe my wife would ask to go with me. I can't ask her while trying to do a 180?? please help quick!! _________________________
