wife preparing to leave me and kids

[Sad_but_happy]

Stay civil, friendly, upbeat, even helpful... Just be consistent! If you are not consistent she will assume that you are the same person she left (or wants to leave) and you will lose ground...

I also suggest non-sexual touch... Touching her arm while getting her attention during conversations. It needs to be fluid and predictable (almost like shes a great friend)...

Or when you are going into a store or through any door, let her walk in first and lead her in by gently putting your hand on the back of her shoulder. Your hand will only be there for a second, but it is so important.

Touch is powerful! And these are non-sexual touches that also show your gentleman side. Another thing that we men forget when we finally "get" our woman...
