My heart tells me something is going on and I know the guy too. Its a single parent of one of my kids friends. I called him about a month ago when I saw the text messages and told him he was destroying a family. Since then I have started talking with DB. My kids are 10 and 12. At the beginning of this my wife asked me to get my own place and I said no. Moved into a room in our basement instead. She was so mad all the time everything was very tense and not good at all. She said I am making things difficult by not moving out. Most of our conversations have been via text. She has said some really nasty things, even said that she could not even be in the same room with me. I felt that she needed some space so I agreed to be gone for the month of November. I'm From another state so all of my friends and family are out of state. The day before I left she was actually nice. Maybe because she knew I was leaving the next day. Not sure. It caught me off guard! Then no communication from Sunday to Wednesday when I sent her a text saying that I hoped she had a nice day. No reply. On Sunday I text her regarding a sport event my son had the night before. She actually called back but I missed the call. When I returned the call we talked for the first time in over a week. She was civil and said that she had been looking at apartments. Again she asked me to agree to move out and suggested it happen when I get back in December. I said it was something to think about but did not agree to it. I said the kids don't need me moving out at Christmas. She got a little defensive and said that I would not be spending Christmas with her family as we typically do. I just said that's fine. Tried my best to be nice the entire call. Before we ended the call she asked where I would be and made a comment that it was a vacation for me. My response was that she asked me to leave and that I didn't really have much choice of where to go. Work trips then staying with family and friends. She also said that I could make this easy or difficult and that if I don't move out she will move out with the kids.
