We have had a lot of ups and downs in our marriage. I will be the first to tell you that after seven years, we still have not figured each other out. My wife tried to leave me on at least 2 other occasions besides this one. First time, we were married about 8 months. We went to see her sister, since my wife sister house was nasty, we stayed with my childhood, family, female friend that our family have knew for over 15 years. Somehow her sister convinces her that I and the childhood friend slept together. The next day at her cousin reception, my wife started acting crazy. I was shocked. She tried to fight me. I was not the aggressor. She swung so hard and missed that she tripped and fell. When she charged at me I held her off me by giving her a stiff arm. She then said that I choke her. She lives that story to this day. The next day she drained the bank accounts and move to Las Vegas. Where her Aunt was living. Her aunt called me and said how sick she was. Her aunt also kicked her out of her house. I told my wife that I was not moving out there just to break down and move to Las Vegas.

When I got out there, we still had problems. It went from me cheating on her to her aunt not liking me. One day she got so upset with her aunt that she brought her problems home. I told her that she needs to let her aunt know how she feels. So I suggested that she write a note. I volunteered to type it for her. My wife sealed the envelope and then took it to the mailbox herself. The next day her aunt came over and said let’s take a ride. Seven hours later, she came home screaming that she wanted a divorce. She filed for separation. Later to recant and we stay together for another year. Then she ran to Ohio. I packed up and followed again.

Today!!! My wife filed for divorce. It has been a rough 2005. We lost our kid do to her having an incompetent cervix. It was devastating to me. She got a real good job. I do not have a good job. I am making half of what I was making in Vegas. So she pops up and says her want s a divorce because I murdered our kid due to me stressing her out during the pregnancy. So I asked her to seek counseling. She denied. We went to see our pastor. She stated to him that there was nothing he could do or say together to change her mind. She has even called the cops on me stating that I locked her in a room and kidnapped her. I did not go to jail. I just do not understand why. Later she said that I did not make her happy. I saw on the phone bill where she has been talking to this guy she use to work with hours at a time while I was at work. Now she is saying that we are incompatible. She also stated that I am controlling and rendered mental cruelty. I do not understand.

I consider myself a good man. I have more to this story but, do not want to make anyone upset. We have not talked in months. I have made attempts via email, no answer. Why want she talk to me. She move out and took half of the items. I know if we could communicate that we can work this problem out. Should I try to contact her? I do not know. I am confused and need help.

Thank you for the invite. She use to always bring this guy up. Like he is about to get married to a girl that she did not approve of. After we lost the baby she started calling him alot. She even mentioned how he complaimented her on her perfume. Everyone tells me that hse is mental. She always listen to what her family says. We are not counseling with the pastor. She refused. I have not spoken to her in about 3 weeks. I will see her in court on the 4 Jan. I do not know what to do. My w moved out to an apartment closer to her job. I found out where she stays. Yes, I have read plan A and B. How can I implement those plans with no conversation?

kaddison, do you have reason to believe that this craziness will somehow change if you get back together? I think you have to accept that this is how she is and ask yourself if you can live like this for the rest of your life. Because you can't change her.

She has some serious mental issues that require the attention of a professional. And that will only happen if she truly wants to change.

Do you feel she would be a good mother to your children?
