Been married 12 years, have 2 children aged 11 and 8. Over the last few months my wife has been very upset and emotionally pulling away from me. She has now asked for a separation and wants me to move out of the house and she will keep the kids. I am shocked it came to this after all we have been through. Says she needs her space and doesn't want me anymore and is very resentful. So now I am destined to become a part time single dad and have to start over in life. Not happy with this at all.I see it is quite common.
