Question Sad I am a 30 yr old male who has recently seperated with my wife of 6 yrs and the mother of my two boys ages 4 & 1. This is still a very terrible shock to me . we have been together for 12 yrs total. One day after questioning her about an outragous cell phone bill and catching her in a couple of lies she took my kids and stayed at 3 different motels over 2 weeks. MEANWHILE ive offered to stay with my parents and let her stay in the family home, and not waste all that money off her credit card on motel rooms.She agreed so i told my parents everything so they would let me stay for a while till things got better. Keep in mind my wife stays with my kids,and i do mechanic work out of my shop beside my house.Well time come for her to come home and she did'nt . Instead she acted like i should not be back at the house unless she inviited me. Well i told her i would find anouther job, but i needed to finish up the ones i had already committed to. She got pissed off and said things wouldn't change and not to call her or nothing. She then issued a tpo against me that states im not to communicate with her by any means and cant see my kids either.The tpo was a bunch of b.s. so she could get temporary custody of our children. I have done everything i can to keep my family together , BUT for some reason she acts as if she had never cared for me at all ,I mean just as cold as ice very hateful. nNow she has rented a place ,bought furniture,appl.,and just blowing money like its going out of style.I've begged her to come home and told her Ilover her and the kids.she has played numerous head games torturing me.should Ijust give up on us and saving my family or what? WHY is she doing this to me and my boys?I'm devastated, did i mention the money shes blowing is on her credit card that ive been busting my butt to pay off.

You can't force someone to stay married to you if they are no longer committed to the marriage.

You questioned her about an outrageous cell phone bill and lies she told you. She left you and she's not coming back. She won't live in the family home because you're working a few feet away. Even though you said you would get another job, she doesn't trust that you will leave her alone. She obtained a restraining order to keep you away from her and the kids. She got her own place to live and you're not allowed to go there.

There appears to be a LOT more to this story.

Right now, she's spending money like water and you claim that you're busting your butt to pay the bills.

You don't seem to have any other recourse other than to get yourself to a good divorce attorney as soon as possible.

On another note, your wife sounds like a woman who is very determined to take charge of her own life. She won't answer to you for anything she has done nor allow herself to be under your control in any way. She doesn't sound like a woman who is ever coming back.

I don't think this is something that just happened or that it is something that should be a terrible shock to you. It was probably brewing for a long time . . . .

A divorce attorney will represent you in the protection order proceedings (and believe me, you need representation) and will help you to arrange an orderly dissolution of the marriage.

You got that right! We're missing quite a bit of information here.

Only she knows WHY she's doing this... what does she say when you ask her?

How I read it is that he figured out that she was having an affair, and that blew the lid off things.

I definitely agree with getting a good divorce lawyer.

Good luck...

Sounds like she has made up her mind she wants out of the marriage but make sure you get fair deal with regards to your kids.
Your divorcing her not your children.

And yes,sadly it does sound like you discovered an affair or at least something that she feels the needs to lie about.
