Hi folks, I have spent a few months on the WAW forum to try and get some insight into my WAW who after over 10 years of marriage, decided that she no longer wanted to be a wife or mother and walked out on me and my two young sons (12 and 5). She has never had a real job in her life and after getting her first job in Jan, and spending a week out of town on the trip, she came home dropped the bomb and took off her ring.
She was gone and in her own apartment within weeks. She has been gone for nearly 4 months now and up until the last week, she has had little to no contact with the children that she doted over up until she snapped.
She had issues with me for sure, "not being in love with me ever" being the biggest, but she also stated that she was resentful of the children because she felt that she had "sacrificed" her youth for them. She never worked and I worked 2 to 3 jobs over the years so that she would not have to. We (both of us) felt that it was better for her to raise our kids than get a job, although I never stopped her from doing so but I never forced her to either.
I encouraged her to do what ever she wanted, school or whatever. We got along well and did not have a lot of fights. We were chasing each other around the house (playing) the day before she went on her trip.
She did meet another man at the training and was calling and texting him for a month behind my back and said she had a crush on him. But he did not return her interest and she got mad and dropped her pursuit. I dont know if she is dating anyone or what she is doing now. I have not been snooping or contacting her much.
She seems to be in a full out MLC at 34. She said she was afraid of being 35 and wanted to go and be a young college kid again. So that is what she has done. She just walked away from her husband and her children. I never saw it coming and it hit me like a ton of lead. I am now a single father raising two boys and I am finding a lot of peace and joy in it as I get further away from the point of impact.I also get a lot of strength from reading your posts here.
