Cliff notes of my marriage: See other postings to get the most information #1 post “Will My Wife Turn into my mother-in-law?” #2 post “Need some help with my wife” Both posted today 01/25/2007.
My wife has depression. She has continues to lie, steal, deny, be stubborn, difficult, (on things that made no sense) and maybe cheat (not sure on that one) I have two step children, she’s been married twice, my first time. Treat them very good. She moved from the south to the NE where my job is. Within a month noticed my wife undermining the me/ family. So much that my step daughter underwent counseling for depression (cutting, “can only be happy in the south” her mom’s doing, and unsure of her sexual orientation. Spent thousands but, my step daughter was worth it. I was to work & she was to be the home keeper (One of our pre-marriage agreements) did the opposite till I said OK to her working ,now doesn’t want to work(and isn’t) Gave her plenty of cash & a credit card for emergencies. Used that card 15 to 30 times a month for 10 months (till she gave it back/ I said enough, I was very kind and loving) all while I am tending to my terminally sick mom (Talk about blind sided). Went through many more card methods nothing worked (no trust/keeps lying & stealing in other ways to) Found out a was funding my wife’s secret bank account. Within 6 months, Mother-in-law hit me up directly for money (which I gave to her) and later found out she expected monthly handouts because I have a good job.(wife denies all)
Found out I was going to lose my job in a couple months (airline down cycle) she refused to get a full time job cause “I don’t want to do any of those jobs” Said it will be temporary to get us through this tough time. I said let’s keep the kids(hers) in private school and keep the house. Still wouldn’t get a job. Sold my motorcycle, golf club membership and my SUV to lead the cutbacks. She demanded new furniture while I downsized. Luckily I found a job. Said she could have a tubel (sp) reversal (before marriage) not true .See below, felt really doped on that one, I know she knew that). There have been some good times, she is nice looking , can be a sweetheart, sex is good, my family all likes her (but they don’t know any of this). Just this week found out that my wife also has secret PO Box, she got 3 more cards in her name, pays her cards debt w/ my (families) money. I could write about her behavior for hours. I would kindly forgive all this stuff but it keeps on happening. It’s been bottled up for years except for our two councilors. I’m afraid nothing is working. I’d also like my own children
If you meet her you would like her. But she acts different around other people and 80% good around me and the kids. She also has many great qualities (she hide the others pretty good before our marriage) Sex drive is fine, never denies me, good cook, good looking, good mother in many ways, nice personality, doesn’t really drink and is outgoing Her other crazy behavior is overshadowing all her nice qualities. Why do I stay? Maybe a sense of duty, commitment, feeling of responsibility to the kids etc… When do I call it quits? I’m thinking now but I’m trying to seek out others veiws before I act. Also want to shelter her kids.
Here is another big problem she can’t have children. She said she could have reversal but that was a lie (she knew it) so I have to spend 30k on IVF, started the process and before it happened, Doctor said she can’t have a child. I realize that she may have not known that part but why do I pay a Doctor to tell me her tubes were singed not tied when she knew it. Again an example of her lies than deny to the end) Maybe this was my breaking point. Lying about not being able to have kids is a big deal, right? That alone Do I file?
