The state code allows me to get a "temporary separation order". I'm thinking about doing that and asking her to leave next week. I will try getting her to choose first, then use the "temporary separation order" as a backup plan. In the mean time, I'm not pursuing or doing any R talk. Now here is my dilema:

1. She has nowhere to go. Should I help her find an apartment or have the OM come get her?

2. My wife takes care of our two daughters ages 7 and 3 during the day while I am at work. I can't afford childcare. Should I have her come get the kids every morning before I leave for work? If she doesn't show up some morning, it would cause me to be late for work, but I could get a backup plan. There are church friends who would be willing to babysit occasionally.

To think that this is all because she refuses to stop communicating with the OM, which she is doing mostly by phone about 3 times a week.


My wife is asking for a divorce and I don't completely understand why.
