Wow. Sounds like she's really going through something. I'm no expert, just here to support others and give my opinion on things. But yeah, it sure sounds like a MLC. Needed time for personal growth, rings are off and she's magically separated temporarily. Free to do as WE wish/ any going ons at this point is not cheating. Sounds like she's trying to turn back time too. (Out with the old, in with the new). A few questions: Where did she make these new friends? How do you react to her going out? What's that like? What does she do for work? Do you suspect any cheating? What are the sleeping arrangements (under the same roof)? And just curious, how was your Thanksgiving? (Oct.14)
Here's my take. She tired of taking care of everyone, wants freedom/space for personal growth . She's getting out there and doing her thing/having her fun. You've taken steps in the right direction and are also getting out there too, taking care of yourself. Keep doing what you're doing. And be the best dadyou can be.
I'm sorry you're going through this. Sorry she's going through this like she is. Don't take the bait of anything goes is okay. Are you okay with it? IMO, don't complicate things by cheating. It's cheating. Take things day by day, not looking too far ahead. If you have to take things into your own hands, do that. I'm being literal. No shame; it's natural and no one gets hurt.
Keep posting and be good to yourself
