Your relationship is already over in her mind. She just doesn't want to be the 'bad guy' in this situation so she keeps telling you to 'go out with friends and have your own life' she wants you to start alienating yourself from the family so that she can turn around and say that you abandoned her and the kids that you 'are never home and always out all night' shit like that. She's trying to turn this around to put the blame on you. I guarantee that if you started going out like she suggests it would only be a matter of time until she files for divorce and says that 'your never around and you just don't want to make this marriage work'. I've known women like this, actually my ex best friend was exactly like this. I could never imagine doing something like this to my husband, ever. I love him too much and if she still loved you, she wouldn't put you through this. In my honest opinion its not even about the infidelity, my marriage survived infidelity, if you really love the person you heal, forgive and move on. People are human and humans make mistakes, but like I said, this is not about the infidelity. This is about one adult treating another adult like shit on purpose and for no reason, this is about respect. If she wants out of the marriage she should just come right out and say it, there's no reason to play these stupid high school games. Please don't take offense because I really don't know her but your wife sounds very selfish and mean. I think you should keep doing what your doing, take care of your kids, your house, your life, don't give her a reason to start blaming you for anything. If she continues with how she's acting, I would file for divorce and custody of the kids, she'll throw a tantrum but the best thing you can do for yourself and your kids, is stay strong. Explain to her why your doing this (she'll already know but go ahead and give her a refresher) once its all said and done, work on yourself. You deserve better and there is better out there. Misery loves company and once your not around her anymore, you'll be happy again.
