My W and I actually had a fairly good week. After leaving her alone for a few days, we seemed to be back on track. We were getting along fine and she was reciprocating my affection. Then yesterday, after having my two daughters over from my previous marriage, she said, "I'm just gonna announce right now that I'm not going to stay here in this town." She plans to move on with or without me, but I am in this area because I want to live close to my daughters. I know that she likes the weather in this area, and the shopping, but that she is not happy about her job (working at a preschool) and our living conditions. Housing is expensive here, so we live in a cheap apartment. When we first moved here, she seemed happy here. It was a good change from where we lived before where the winters were harsh. I also think she misses her friends back in her country. We are trying to save up to visit her family in December.

My daughters are well behaved and my W used to be nice to them, but since my ex accused her of causing them stress, she has essentially put up a wall between herself and them. She doesn't show them affection, and hardly even talks to them unless absolutely necessary. I think if my daughters were perfect angels, it would not make a difference. She really doesn't like when they come. It's as if they are invading her space.


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