As the title says, I have been seperated from my wife for approximately 6 months, but I would dearly love to reunite my family.

The reason we parted was largely down to my wife contacting he real father who was out of the picture for 25 years or so (since she was 5years old).

Since he has been on the scene her priorities have changed from the kids (we have 3), to her and her father. It seems like she is trying to re-live her childhood and nothing else matters.

I am not saying I am 100% innocent in all of this, but the breakup came as massive shock to myself, close friends and family. She did not confide in anyone as far as I know, and her mind seems to be made up. Over the last 6 months I have seen no signs of her wanting reconcilliation.

I am sure that there is nobody else involved, but it looks like I am loosing the battle to win her back. I have recently started enjoying life again and socialising, but deep down I still yearn for her.

Since splitting I have been diagnosed with severe depression, which I am battling at the moment. It is kind of ironic that since this has been idenified I have had more fun over the last 2 months than I have for many years. I think one one the major splitting points was due to me being boring and miserable (i.e. no socialising etc), but even though I have been doing these things it seems to be falling on deaf ears.

There is little to no contact between us at the moment, not even when the kids are being picked up or dropped off. I cant see any hope of things changing while we dont communicate, but she will resist talking about anything other than the kids.

The other problem is she is living in the marital home and agreed beforehand to pay half the mortgage. This has been honoured up until the past 2 months, last month being £50 short and there is no sign of this months yet (I am from UK by the way). So i dont know how to tackle her about this as I dont want to blow any slim chance I have, yet finanically I cannot afford to pay for 2 houses.

Any advice you could give me would be more than welcome.

Thanks in advance.
