I have been advised to stay in the house until a finacial agreement is reached about the house and the divorce process is in progress. She has no idea that I am going to stay and will use emotional blackmail to try and make me leave.

My issues were partly because my wife found that I had looked at porn on my phone and feels as if I cheated on her with lots of women. That was not how I saw it and have always found my w attractive but we had hardly any intimacy since our second child 4 years ago.

She is hurting badly but is adamant that we cannot continue. She has always needed male attention when she is feeling unwanted and I suspect the case now as she can't leave whatsapp alone.

I am so exhausted that I avoided speaking to her yesterday. She seemed curious as to why. Is there a tecnique I could use that would be helpful to create some distance between us in the house in a positive way? I don't want her thinking that I am sulking and we have to cooperate with looking after the kids.

I gotta keep breathing. Because tomorrow the sun will rise. Who knows what the tide could bring?
