Wife wants space, she moved across town into an apartment complex, what should I do?
I kicked my wife out in January after discovering she was trying to buy vicodin from her 20 year old son and after she didn't come home on a Friday night because she said she drank too much at a friends house. When I kicked her out she stayed at a hotel for 2 weeks before I apologized for overreacting and I asked her to come back so she did. When she came back, she said it didn't feel like home to her anymore and she was already looking to get her own place. She enjoyed being by herself with nobody in her face and nobody judging her. When she came back I went through her coat pocket one night and I found a baggie of cyclobenzaprine which is a pain pill and a sandwich bag of Acetaminophen and hydrocodone which is a prescription level 2 narcotic. When I confronted her about it, she said they were for somebody else. I suggested counseling but she said ,"why, so they can tell me how f'd up I am". She admits to being an alcoholic.
She has said she loves me but she doesn't feel that she's in love with me. We rarely fight, she's 48 yrs old so I think some of this could be the change of life, but I am really concerned about her use of alcohol and likely drugs is messing up her thought process. I don't think she's cheating on me. She's been at her own place for a month now and the only contact we had was last weekend because our dog was ill and I wanted her with at the vet in case we had to put him asleep so I am trying to respect her need for space.

EDIT: So 5 YEARS ago she was an alcoholic already and probably even longer than that judging by your past questions on here from years ago... face it, she's bad news who wants to stay on narcotics and alcohol.
Leave her alone, if she wanted you she'd come back to you, God knows you have made it abundantly clear that you want her, she's just not wanting you back, she likes getting high and drinking.
You don't need a drag like that in your life anyways, get together with a woman who doesn't need alcohol or drugs to make her feel good, your wife is a junkie.
The people that have depression problems almost always turn to drugs or alcohol, it's a sickness, they can't be helped, they either die from complications of the self abuse they do to their bodies or they wake up one day and decide to on their own fix themselves up.

Your wife is a druggie and it sounds like her son didn't fall far from that tree. Let her GO, make it legal, and the sooner the better. She can't be a partner to you and the drugs at the same time and she has chosen the drugs. She can't be reahbbed until she's ready if ever, and you can't make her ready. Be sure to get a divorce since her drug habits could cause a LOT of trouble for you even if you aren't directly involved. Don't let her have access to your home or leave things there because she will use you and you could get hurt badly through no fault of your own.. Get out of denial and call an attorney today.

When a partner tells you they want space...that pretty much means they want away from you. I think she has something more important in her life than you and that definitely can be drugs. Wake up and move on. Druggies just drag you down with them and they crave the attention of other druggies. I'm going to bet she has a bf that does drugs. She doesn't deserve respect. Just move on and make a new life for yourself.

See if she'll see a doctor and a therapist about her substance abuse. If she won't, then you have to accept things as they are. She's got issues and if she's not willing to deal with them, you can't make her. Menopause can do a lot of things to a woman, but most of us don't become alcoholic pill poppers.

If you love her trick her say your going for a drive to clear your mind or whatever and convince her to go... lock the car doors and take her to rehab because she needs help asap. If you don't want to do that let her go and move on with your life.

It's time to fish or cut bait. Ask her point blank if she wants to divorce, and live single.

She is a self-admitted alcoholic and probably a drug user. What are you clinging to?
