Personally Muddle, I think your wife is nuts! She, as the saying goes; "talks out of both sides of her mouth." I really don't know what to tell you cause it kind of seems like you're damned if you do and damned if you don't. Ya know?

You still live together, right? You have a son together too. Therefore, if I were you. I would continue on the path that you have chosen, to fight for your M. Let her tell you whatever she wants. Listen, validate and then let it roll right off your back. It sounds like she is trying to get a rise out of you. So that you are now the "bad guy" instead of her. Whatever....just remember, don't believe everything she says and only 1/2 of what she does.
