she's talking divorce, don't touch me, this has changed our marriage, i'm not sure i want to be married to you anymore.....
i asked to pray with her last night and she said she was doing her own praying.
i spoke to our ex-pastor yesterday and discussed this and he felt she was wrong and said if a husband is given a phone to use at work, that's legitimate for work and she should understand.
i also asked him about women coming into my office and he said it was fine unless i shut the door and i always keep the door open.
i've invited my wife to come for lunch, coffee, etc. and to help me move my office when the time comes, so she can see all my stuff and feel comfortable about it.
i went to a counselor at work and he said i should not even have llet this go on this far.
i don't want a divorce, i don't want my children taken and i don't want to work each week just to pay her child support.
any suggestions/ Please pray.

You dont want to be controlled for the rest of your life do you? This relationship is not good for anyone especially your kids. You need a divorce or for the both of you to go to marriage counseling. Your kids wont be taken away, you can get joint custody and the child support you pay can be minimal if the time spent is equally shared, bottom line you two need help. She has the problem, she treats you like a child and for whatever reason doesnt trust you. Ask her to go to a counselor if she refuses you need to make a big decision.

This will pass, it may not seem like it is going to but trust me it will! In a few days she'll come out of her glumm and realize maybe she has made a mistake. Does she work? Allow her to get a part time job or if she does tell her it's time for a vacation let it be her choice if she wants you to go or if she wants to go alone, she may just have too much time on her hands or maybe not enough time to herself and has hit a stir crazy point. I think there is other things going on that has triggered these feelings she is expressing that you're not telling us, help her out more at home, ask her out more just the two of you, buy her flowers, a braclet or neckless at least once a year and not on a hoilday just b/c! When she has something to say listen don't cut her off don't even answer the phone give her your undivided attention always - You should want to be with her b/c you love her and she is your everything not b/c you don't want to pay child support or have your children takin' away, with that attitude it's no wonder you are where you are. Do things that will make her fall in love with you again, and make yourslef fall back in love with her, see her good qualities not all the bad make new, good and happy memories or you will have to get out if the love is gone and can not be mended.....

Man I'm sorry about all this drama. You had to give her some reason to act this way. I'm just wondering if she is hiding something herself. Some people fly off the handle if there is some guilt behind her actions . I would do some research on her. Tell her she's making a big deal about nothing. Ask her what is her reason for her behavior? It's all about work and if she doesn't understand that then you need some counseling. Tell her to take a chill pill!! Good Luck.

Your wife should walk a few miles with you in your shoes during a typical work day to see how the other half lives. With children involved all attempts should be made to overcome any rocky patches in your marriage. Try not to use religion as a crutch to lean on if you have the ability to think for yourself. This business is between you and your wife only; not everybody who wants to get involved. She should grow up and work it out with you; women are usually mature enough to figure that out.

Your wife has problems that aren't related to this phone thing. She's just using this as the excuse. Maybe you should just tell her fine, go ahead and file for divorce....call her bluff. Better yet, ask her has there ever been any time she has done something that would give you cause to not trust her as she is not trusting you right now?

Excuse me? Whoa, back up & answer the preliminary key question right here - who're & why have been different women calling you cellular telephone interior the 1st place? I observe a huge, suspicious factor-step of that component of this equation! you desire to concentration on her taking your telephone by using fact you like it for artwork -a valid concern - yet rather, why are women calling on your cellular? in case you will not be able to grant legitmate motives, possibly she has reason to be suspicious. I DO understand her factor - possibly she is going approximately it in a infantile, knee-jerk reaction way, yet c'mon, how could cope with this in case you took HER cellular & different adult men saved calling it? Be reasonable. From somebody who has been down this street, honesty is the superb coverage - the certainty WILL come out, and you isn't forgiven while you're as much as no good & compound that with the aid of mendacity. in case you have some thing to confess, do exactly it. in case you schedule marriage counseling (considerable which you're taking this preliminary step), give up the shenanigans & somewhat seek for forgiveness, you're able to artwork issues out along with her. If not, make it much less puzzling on the two considered one of you & the little ones & in simple terms get the divorce. do not draw it out till unquestionably everyone seems to be mentally scared with the aid of all this drama. that's terrible to play with somebody else's thoughts. Do the superb suited factor, one way or yet another, please.

Drama........she is a drama queen, but before you say you don't want a divorce, you better start going through some of her things, no one acts out like that without having a guilty conscience!
