Whats the best way of coping with the breakdown of my marriage?
My darling wife kicked me out on Hogmaneigh after a small disagreement over something I think was quite petty. To be fair though, things haven't been great for a while, our families can't stand each other (or respectively our partners). I've tried everything to communicate with her without success. We have both done things over the last fifteen years that the other cannot seem to forgive or forget despite both agreeing on several occasions that we will. She's adamant that our marriage is over, tells me about the guys she's now talking to, and is desperate to get rid of our daughter (2) at weekends so she can go out ( I have custody of our son (10)). She seems very bitter saying to me things like "it was all a mistake", "we should never have gotten married" then goes uploading wedding photos to her FB, finds out i've been out for a few drinks then visits the pub midweek asking questions about me and point blank refuses to go to her lawyer to draw a line under the marriage that she says she's so desperate to be out of. She on one hand tells me that she's not looking for another man, then tells me on the other that her personal life is none of my business. She spent the latter half of last year shouting at me or my son EVERY night after coming in from work whether dinner/coffee was waiting for her or not, stopped sleeping with me, started wearing pj's to bed and even fell out with me in bed to avoid contact. I'm worried sick about my health, her health and the effefct it's having on our children. Just this week my dughter was picked up from nursery along with 2 behaviour warnings: One for telling staff to " get out of my sight" and another for telling a staff member to " Kiss my butt" after being asked to pick a toy up. We can't even communicate on a basic level, just all bitterness and aggro all the time. I don't want to lose her, but I fear that it way too late to salvage anything from this mess and tbh, I am not coping physically or mentally very well at all.
8 AnswersMarriage & Divorce1 decade agoWot would make a child exclaim to their charge "oooh! That man looks scary"?
I was walking back to my car yesterday after putting my lottery ticket on, when i rounded a corner, a young child of about 8 who was walking towards me with their charge sounded a noise as if they were startled or surprised then turned to them and said "that man looks scary!" I'd be the first to admit that i'm not exactly classicly good looking. Five foot nine, twelve an a half stone with collar length blond hair and a goatee beard, but scary....
