UPDATE: So it's now Saturday, and wife hasn't retained or contacted a lawyer yet. Seems to me that she is intentionally dragging her feet. She asked me the other day if she could take the boys to a movie today, and I said sure, but that she couldn't do it without me also present. She was fine with that. Well, this morning, I get a text that says, "When can I get the boys today?" I texted back with, "Get the boys?" and she said "Whatever. When are you all planning on going to the movie?" haha. She's testing me at every turn. It's like being married to a 16 year old.
Anyway...I figure that her feet dragging is simply her playing games with me. So I'm going to hold on to all the money and keep it in my private account until she makes a responsible move. I figure its the only leverage I have to keep her accountable. Esp. since I make all the money. Or most of it anyway.
Question for the vets here: I'm now enjoying living in my house sans wife. I really think she thinks she will return if and when she's ready, but since it's her house too, she can come and go, etc. I've set the boundary on coming and going, but one thing I'm thinking about doing is taking down all reminders or her (pictures of us at our wedding, her decorations, etc). Is that an irrelevant move? Is it too antagonistic? I want to do it simply because it makes it easier for me to function as a single parent. I don't have to deal with the constant reminders, etc. Interested in everyone's thoughts on that.
Off I go to take the boys to the movie with wifey. Not looking forward to it. I get in these grooves where I feel comfortable, and then she wants to see the boys, and I get sick to my stomach again.
