I mistreated wife due to ocd/add and she left 11 months ago filing legal seperation. She then met a nice guy and she is having sex with him and will not give up the other family she has had to move back home and continues to look for jobs in another state and doesnt want to save marriage.

We have three kids 6,10, and 3 and they dont know what s going on. I would love to save my marriage but my roughness may have made it too late, help.

How did you mistreat her exactly? Can you be more specific?

Up until five years ago I was abusive in all three areas. She left and in about our eighth month of seeperation met a girl started sleeping with him and I must admit he treats her right-like a lady should be treated I cant compete. The only thing is she is applying for a job in another state and with her impulse may move himand my three sons. She is angry.

In all 3 areas. Is that Physical, verbal and emotionally?

That doesn't answer my question.

I suggest you get an attorney and just divorce her.

What is the mental condition you have?

So what has changed? Did you fix the mental condition?

Where are your children? How do they have no idea what is going on if you and your wife are separated and she left? dontknow

You need to be more specific and not give vague information, if you want help.

Many a good man has failed because he had a wishbone where his backbone should have been.

We gain strength, and courage, and confidence by each experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face... we must do that which we think we cannot.

Let me get this straight. You beat up your wife because you have "OCD?" That is really lame. Since when does that cause someone to beat up their spouse?
