That is typical. I have been asking that question for months now. The are SO cruel and mean. They won't talk and when you try to talk they won't listen. I guess its like TOO MUCH said, they are trying to justify the affair. My wife doesn't even bother to spend time with her children during these holidays. How sad is that?

read all you can on here, take a deep breath, and plan B her. Just don't talk to her anymore. As hard as that is (believe me I know) don't engage with her anymore. Get yourself together and let her see how much of a loser the guy is (does she really pick HIM up for work? what a loser!)

You should read "Survivng An Affair" before you "do" anything.

eemd..
Your rights to see your children are not contingent on her moods...

focus on the kids...set clear boundaries...

Is she exposing them to the OM...cause that would light a fire under my butt to put a stop to that one...

You need to have clear boundaries that protect you and the children...full exposure with the children...

Do not let her use the children as pawns...
can you move back home...?
you should consider doing so...
seriously consider doing so...


Is he married...have you exposed the affair to anyone?

document any times she 'stops' you from seeing them...they need you badly...
record phone messages where she won't let you see them...
establish clear visitation...but seriously consider moving back......if at all possible...

children pay the most heinous price for grownups behavior.... <img border="0" alt="[Teary]" title="" src="graemlins/teary.gif" />
