This woman is no longer your wife, she is an adulteress who has forgotten about you and has no respect for you or your children. If it's only an emotional thing (which I sincerely doubt) then you still have a terrible problem that you have to rectify. I would also confront her about this, meanwhile get an attorney and start talking to a person you trust that can counsel with you. You shouldn't be alone during this and you ought to know that what she is doing is absolutely wrong. She wants you to go away so that she doesn't have to. A woman like that will be no mother to your children, so don't leave them with her. I would take steps to start life over.God loves you. Be strong.

Do you plan to compromise your happiness for the benefit of others who won't appreciate it anyway? And trust me, she's sleeping around. Been there, done that.

reader, anonymous, writes (11 February 2006): i am having the same issues. my wife has told me that she "loves" me but she isnt "in love" with me. then next i notice that this guy at work is all she talks about and how he is having wife issues as well. next thing i know they are having lunch, talking on her cell phone (which by the way his number is on there 19 times and mine is on there 1 time) and that im not what she is looking for. so now we have a fight and she reveals to me that they are talking about getting together after their divorces. i thought i would be A-OK if she left but after hearing that my heart dropped. im so angry but i dont know what to do. i feel depressed, angry, sad, hurt, and somehow feel like a weight has been lifted. she says i drove her to it, i think she made this move on her own. be strong, dont give in, and remember, if she doesnt want you, there are far more women who do.

What you have said is not good. You need to acknowledge that there is no real love here anymore. You need to acknowledge that the children need you more now than ever before. You both have responsibility to your children despite the hurt that is being experienced. Please be strong for their sake.

A reader, F, writes (3 January 2005): I feel very bad for you. Having two little kids is tough enough for two parents, but when one appears to have "checked out" of the relationship, it must be agonizing for the other.It sounds like your wife may be having a phase of wanting to feel attractive and sexy, now that the reality of motherhood has set in. Have you been treating her like a "mommy", and not like your wife and lover? Perhaps this has contributed, although her wandering may have nothing to do with how you have been treating her recently. All the clues indicate that she is becoming too involved in a life away from her family, and she has told you that she does not love you. This puts you in a very tenuous situation. Do you hold yourself together for the sake of your kids, and hope she has a change of mind and heart, or do you not accept this behavior and give her an ultimatum, which may lead to her walking away? This is a very difficult choice, but you cannot continue to live this way, especially for the good of your kids. Perhaps a separation may be wise, so you both can sort out your feelings, and contemplate the future. Your self-respect and your kids self-esteem will no doubt suffer under the present relationship conditions. I hope you can resolve this.

My friend when a woman is out THAT late at night something is up. Especially
you find messages calling her baby and etc from a guy??? You aren't reading
much into it you are reading too little. Obviously she is lying when the
claim of not having another affair outside and asking you to leave the kids
if you want seems a bit harsh. If you want to salvage this marriage do so
fast since another guy seemed to be like moving onto your wife. I would say
spark the love that have burnt out. When she say she felt trapped give her
some space since she seemed like the free spirit type yet there should be a
limit as to how much space one gets. If all else fails then you really have
to get her to sit down with you and talk it out thoroughly and be up front
with her with the messages you have read up so she cannot deny otherwise of
anything else. Women like men majority are lairs (despite some lie for good
and lie for bad). Talk it out but dont haste or make it an uproar everything
will have to be up front if all else fails to spark the love again to make
her coming back onto you. You might want to change a bit in ways if she say
she was unhappy or felt trapped in same ways than you yourself as a husband
will have to change to make her feel comfortable again in those areas.
I hope my advice proves useful and may you find the guiding light to the
answer you seek~
