I really can relate to your sitch. my wife told me she needed space and time. On the day she moved out I went out of town rather than to jail. She took everything that she could'nt fit in her duplex and left me with little. I basically left her alone the fist couple of weeks and once I found out she was on party patrol I flipped. We have 3 kids together and she has been married 2 times before and had a child with each husband including me. I am have been in her 2 kids lives for 10 years. The oldest has adhd and we have butted heads for sure but she is going out wed thru sunday and leaving them with a 15 year old who basically has the social skills of a 10 year old. I hate having my son there why she is out partying it up all the time. I don't have many friends around here anymore but I was fine with that because I had my wife and kids to keep me more than busy. She took all of that away from me. I have been trying to db but alway seam to screw it up. I keep waiting for my wife to break down like yours did. She knows that she is screwing up but is so self centered and selfish that she doesn't care who she hurts as long as she is happy. Sound familiar? I am glad you hear about you sitch. take it slow and going to a couns. is a must in my book. I would definately keep working on yourself but I wish I was in your sitch. My wife is in hate mode right now and is determined to convince me to give up! good luck and keep in touch........sounds like we have the same type of wives.
