Can there be any hope at all for my marriage or me and my life?

I met my wife and had a whirlwind romance in which she was, on face value, perfect in every way. Stunningly beautiful, attentive, loving. We were engaged within 4 months and married in 7 months and then overnight she changed completely. She wanted me to get rid of my dog, forced me to get fertility tests( which were fine) even though I am a fit 30yr old male, was constantly putting my down- saying her ex- (whose dad is a former football club owner and multi millionaire) was far better looking than me.

She forced and co-erced me into a lot of stuff like not allowing me to go for a drink with friends or work colleagues- who similarly she did not allow to the house - which I purchased putting in 80% of the equity. I raised these funds from the sale of my business and money I set aside and made on my last house. All of these things were done as she threatened to divorce me if i did not comply.

She forced me to get a number of tattoos on my body with her name on- she isolated me from friends and family- my family did not even know the address where I lived and was never allowed to know, or invited to her mother's house.

She began to co-erce me by using the threat of calling police when we began to argue a lot- due to the way she was treating me.

At a later point she called the police and alleged I had been beating her but I was released without charge as there were no marks/evidence. After this I had to "get out the pressure cooker" and went to visit my parents for a week where I told them everything that had happened.

I went back to the marital home one week later and was not allowed into the house- she refused to discuss like adults when I said I needed more time to consider if the marriage could continue-- she shouted and screamed and threatened more police allegations.

During this time I went to stay at a motel/B and B and sought some legal advice for self protection. However within 2 days my wife was posing on facebook in a provocative pose and was on a dating site on the internet. She has also been sighted in town with a number of men on "dates".

About a week later she made "historical allegations" at a police station with her mother and friend who have made "witness statements" despite not being present- they claim that they were there when I "grabbed her roughly". I was charged with 3 counts of "Common Assault" and I am awaiting trial as we speak. As part of the bail I cannot contact her and cannot live in the area. So I am suspended from my job who will sack me if i am found guilty and have no social outlets at all- I am isolated, lonely and alone.

During this period it has come to lght that my wife has done this type of thing before to her ex and it transpires that she was sleeping with both of us and also had a one night stand with another guy right up until we got engaged.

She has also tried to "smear campaign" me by contacting my work colleagues/friends and "blackening" my name during th eperiod when I have been away from her. Despite a solicitors request she has refused to let me have any personal belongings from my house. So I have 1 pair of jeans, 2 t shirts a pair shorts and trainers and that is all my possessions in the world.

Despite all this I miss her badly- or a miss the person she was before we married_ I can't ask anyone so I have a few questions that keep running over in my mind.

Did she "set me up" from day 1 to get a house/money from me- like a con-artist?

Why is she trying to destroy me?

Why do I miss her- It was her birthday yesterday and I longed to just say "happy birthday"- but couldn't as I would be sent to jail for that.

When I think of her out with other men- or even in my house with other men it makes me very sad rather than massively angry. Is that normal?

I think that if she dropped the criminal allegations, apologised, promised to change her ways and accept me for who I am that I would try and make the marriage work. Is this normal or am I grasping at straws in my head as I am basically alone and a prisoner in my own mind?

I sometimes feel like cying my eyes out when I think that I loved her more than I have ever loved anyone in my life and perhaps she never loved me at all. I can't understand why this has happened.

I don't want to burden anyone with this but I have nobody to talk to at all. And I don't know what to do.

    Man I agree with all these guys. THIS WOMAN HAS PLAYED YOU OFF A BREAK. I know it's hard and I know you are hurting but it's time you manned up! Get onto her ex's I'm sure they will be more than willing to appear as witness's for your defense. For goodness sake don't even consider going back with her under any circumstances, she just took you for everything you got. She is evil and you may have loved her more than anyone else in your life but you were loving a cold, calculating bi-yatch. Oh buddy she screwed you good and will screw others if you let her get away with this. you may have loved her, but she sure as hell don't love you. You want to wish her a happy birthday? No, no, and no! Get your self together, get a good councilor, get a good lawyer, document everything and hunker down for a good fight, that's the best birthday present you can give this maggot, show her she picked the wrong one this time!

    If what you say is true you need a very good lawyer. Tell them everything and I mean everything. I would type it up and take a copy so that you make sure the attorney has all the facts. If you can get her past relationships to make a statement that this is her M.O. then that will be helpful in court. You have been duped and you should stop having any feelings for her. Remember that is what is allowing her more ammunition against you. Back off, and stay away and get a good private investigator and an attorney that you trust and let them do the leg work for you.

    Sadly this may take some time, she is out to ruin you and is doing a good job of it. Don't go around her and give her anything else to use against you. As for her calling your work etc, that is slander and is actionable.

    wow, thats a sad thing giong on. the worst thing you can do is let her know it bothers you. WORST thing. if she is trying to hurt you, the one thing that is going to keep her going is knowing it bothers you. the MIN you show her you dont care, i guarantee it will stop. so what you need to do is shake the bs off, and be a man. go out, get a hair cut, find some friends to hobby with (sports or whatnot) and ignore whats going on. i KNOW its hard and hopefully you wont get in trouble if you really didn't do it. if you can find out info on her before the trial, id do what you can. get statement from the guys if you can or look in her past to see if you can find something on paper against her. have other people get any info off her FB if you can so you dont get in trouble for stalking or anything. there isn't anything saying friends cant contact her!! the biggest thing is to keep occupied. you are depressed and feeling alone and if you aren't working then i'm assuming all you are doing is sitting and wondering "why" KEEP BUSY..its the BEST advice i can give you. i've been there done that..and i've done this to my (now ex) husband. but we have talked thru it and we are actually good friends now so i have a little more knowledge of both sides. immaturity, selfishness, etc.thats what causes these things. if you lose everything...as much as its going to suck, move on. being sad and upset and pondering it all is only going to make the inevitable worse. everything is going to happen no matter what, if you let it get to you, its going to make the future *(which IS going to happen) worse...understand!! :o)

    best thing you can do now is keep busy and find someone to talk to. maybe join an online support group so you have some people to talk to live....GL!

    There is always hope, don't do anything stupid.

    Get an attorney, you will need one, even if you two get back together somtimes abuse charges can not be dropped depending on the state.

    I think you are feeling sorry for your self ( just acknowledge that is what it is)

    You may be missing the idea of the relationship more than the actual relationship.

    Life is too short to spend it with someone who can not give you mutual respect.

    Quit putting the value of your self worth on the acknowledgement from someone else.

    This is what "happened", she saw it and .yes, used it to get what she wanted.

    With little or no regard for your needs. So if your waiting for her to meet your needs don't hold your breath. Quit wearing your heart on your sleeve and do something for yourself.

    WOW! I'm glad that you were able to vent and get that all out of your chest. I know that what I'm going to say is going to hurt, but it's merely my opinion-I'm not a professional.

    It sounds to me that she never loved you. She does not respect you or see you as a part of her. You sound like a very compassionate man and I don't think that she deserves you. Sadly enough, her allegations will not help you in a divorce, but that's what you should be thinking of. I am a woman of God, and divorce should be the last resort, in your case, I believe that is the wiser decision.

    I actually met my husband online and married him with in the year; I thank God that we recently celebrated our 11th year together. It has not been an easy road, but love does help the ride.

    she is one of those people who have to have drama in their lives, they can make a scene out of nothing. they twist everything to make someone elses fault

    i dont understand how you can possibly want her back.

    i feel sorry that she is putting you through all this, and i hope it works out well for you. but stop being the victim and fight back.

    shes a nut case and always will be. You deserve better.

    You are in an abusive relationship and need to get out of it. She is poison to you. You need to be very far away from her. You need to prove your innocence and get her out of your home. You need to prove that she has done this before and will do it again. You were set up. She is a con artist.

    You need to find her ex's and get them to help you put her away.

    Then you need to move on.
