Wow Irish! I can totally relate with you! My wife was amazing as well! She was smiling, caring, called me or texted me several times throughout the day. We ate at restaurants several times each week with and without the kids, we picked blueberries, went for train rides, drove to Washington DC and to California from Michigan. We never missed family parties and had great projects as well. One day this year she died as well. She gave me a restraining order and filed for divorce out of the blue after I spanked our daughter on the bottom, I only spanked her 4 times in 7 years. She bad-mouths me in front of the children, she tried to make me see the children as little as possible, she tried to destroy my business, my only source of income right now. I am glad that there is a restraining order that prevents me to argue with her because things would be much worse now had I done that. It looks like she wants reasons to punish me even more and arguing with her would do that. Recently she complained with her lawyer that I gave our son a haircut, unbelievable! Mother in-law blames it all on me because she doesn't know about midlife crisis when in reality she is to blame for all the trouble she caused her daughter during childhood and now it's all coming out.
