My sitch doesn't get any better and yes Vapo, you are right in that she is just trying to keep things civil for the sake of the kids.
Yesterday, she said she was going to stay with her mom and was planning on hiring a holiday home for the Easter period unless I provided her with a date of me leaving that evening. Fortunately, I found a cheap place in our town. I then messaged her to let her know and that she could bring the kids back as I had a moving date. She then replied that she was now going anyway and that she will return on the day I leave! She says that i can see the kids but she doesn't want anymore stress for her or the kids and doesn't want to live with me. I was shocked. I gave her what she wanted but she went with her plans anyway. I was hoping to spend my last weeks in the house seeing the kids everyday and trying to build some bridges with my W.
She says that the whole situation has f**ked her head up and she feels like she is going crazy. She is just looking forward to getting her home back.
I have been calm and civil for much of this time. She is the one who starts arguments and raises her voice in front of the girls. Just feels like a one way street where she gets what SHE wants and I have no say in anything.
Do I just back away now? There is no reasoning with her and the marriage just seems like a distant memory now. I can't see the woman I married at all.
I gotta keep breathing. Because tomorrow the sun will rise. Who knows what the tide could bring?
