Did she drain the bank account and run up the credit cards yet?

Again, why would you do this to someone you once loved and have children with? That’s so fricked up.

I don’t disagree, since my marriage didn’t end with hatred. But it it happens all the time. First thing my BF’s ex wife did was empty the bank accounts.

Yes, I’ve heard horror stories. I guess I can’t imagine hating someone so intensely that I would ruin their life.

We didn't have kids, but my first wife took all the money out of our bank account and almost all of the furniture from our home when she left.

I found a note on the door "I'm tired of living for everyone else, I want to live for me".

Oh Im going to get fricked if we divorce. 99% of men do. She offered to move out. I told her I would instead. I'm already paying for the house. She would either move to her sister's or find another house which I will be on the hook for 2 places instead of 1 because I will have to give her money regardless.

This is a mutual thing between us. It's easier for me to go to stay at my parents and let her stay at home with the kids. They are used to me gone. They don't have to know anything right now and they won't have to move to another place and start questioning everything. I will meet her halfway to pick up the kids or go all the way there if we decide to do marriage counseling.

Nothing is set in stone yet. I will know more when I get back home in 3 weeks but she isn't adamant about divorce. She just knows we can't keep going like this and we really can't.

stories like yours make me wonder if maybe my situation isn't that bad.

Although not the OP’s situation, you might feel differently if you came home to your husband plowing some skank in your bed.

I am not saying to cut her off from any money but you need to definitely get her hooks out of your accounts before you are getting dissolving stitches in your rectum.

Work out a reasonable amount for the children and household bills and give her that. It is also time for her to get a job. This will grow some appreciation for the cash cow she is used to kicking around.


When you speak to an attorney find out how much child support is going to be, then trim her down to that.

Part of the sacrifices you have made for your family is missing some of the milestones for the children. You didn't do this to be selfish. You did it to provide. Your responsibility for providing for her is over if the marriage is.

Trim the accounts up tomorrow.

That's basically what's going on for me now. I know that I can't live the rest of my life on this budget, but she barely has enough to pay the bills too. No more shopping trips etc. I just want to get a legal separation so that I'm not on the hook for any debt she builds up while I'm separated. We already split up the accounts and I've got an automatic weekly draft for a set amount going to her. It's way more than what child support and any alimony will be, but until we get the property settlement, I don't want to bankrupt the both of us or ruin my own credit with foreclosure either.

This may not be a popular comment, but I promise you it wlll save you grief.

Take out enough cash from your account to cover your deposit and first month’s rent. Give her everything else. Don’t argue about it, don’t sweat it, don’t give it a second thought. Take enough to set up your apartment, and give her the rest. If she wants the house, give it to her. Think of it this way: everything you are giving her is ultimately for your kids.

Be careful not to get hooked up with a GF before all the legal things are settled. You said she did not have any love for you but seeing you will another woman she will find the hate...

I tended bar for 7 years. No matter how amicable the separation or divorce as soon as the male found someone else the ex would lose their shite. The length of time she stayed nuts would vary.... But they all did it.

Do y'all go to mass? Have you spoken with a priest/pastor together? Have y'all dated in a while without the kid?

Good luck.

Karen Downs will make your soon to be ex-spouse fell like the most insignificant human alive.

One of her partners, Vincent Saffiotti, is also a great choice.

As a man who's wife has major postpartum with each child we had, I wouldn't take it personal. She probably does love you, it is just buried deep. I almost left my wife after our second because she wouldn't take her meds. As others have said, get her out of your checking account now. And for the love of all, dont get remarried.
