Well today I told my wife that I think her and I should limit our communication to the kids. She said "Uh OK if that's what you want." I said "It's not what I want but I felt that I couldn't be involved in her life outside of a marital context."

I had to do this for me. My sanity and self respect were taking a hit. I got the feeling that she was getting her fantasy of having her single life but getting what she felt she needed from me.
