Sunday: W is gone all day. I drop D12 and D14 off at summer camp for the week. I spend the day with D6 and my family. I get home @ 9pm. Wife is on phone w/OM from Haiti. I ask her to leave the house if she is going to talk to him. She ignores me.
Again, I pick up the extension, introduce myself as her husband and ask that he not call or use my house phone to talk to my W. My W again gets hysterical, yelling at me, calling me names, grabbing the phone. The man hangs up. My W grabs the wireless extension, unplugs the handset from the wired phone, goes downstairs and calls OM again. I go and unplug the phone router.
My wife screams at me, tells me how much she hates me, tells me that I am ruining her life, and starts hitting me. I ignore her and go upstairs to bed. As I am going upstairs, she grabs my car keys and work laptop and runs out of the house saying “Good luck getting to work tomorrow”.
I give D6 a bath, put her in bed, and go to my bed to read. My W comes into my room and takes all the remote controls out of the room so I can’t watch TV. She then goes and takes a shower. I go downstairs to check my email.
My W comes downstairs naked with a towel wrapped around her. She asks to see the keyboard. I hand it to her and she changes all the computer passwords so I don’t have access. There was something very comical and sad about watching her stand there and do this; with the towel falling off and being put back on, exposing her naked body while she fumbled with the keyboard. My W went and finished her shower.
While she was in the shower, I called a friend on my cell phone. W finished her shower, came downstairs and tried to grab my cellphone. I just looked at her and said fine, I am not going to fight with you and handed it to her. She ran off to another room. I went upstairs and went to bed.
She comes into my room and turns off the in-room air conditioner. As she leaves, she says she is “going to make my life miserable”. I think I am truly detached now, because I don’t feel anything. No anger, just a sadness that the woman I loved and married has changed into this person. I turn the air conditioner back on and go back to bed. 5 minutes later, I lose power to my room. She had turned off the breaker. I go back to bed.
I wake up and get ready for work. I go downstairs and wake up my wife (she now sleeps on the couch). I ask for my keys and laptop, she ignores me and goes back to sleep. My cellphone is sitting on the table. I go outside and call the police. They show up, walk into the house and talk to her. The policeman walks out with my keys, and my wife’s keys. He opens up her car and hands me my briefcase.
I ask if he is going to file a police report regarding the theft. He said that since we are married, all our possessions are community property. I explained that the laptop is not mine, but owned by my work. He took down the information and indicated that he would file the report.
My wallet is missing, but my W insists that she didn’t take it. I go to work without my wallet.
