Others did, which is what I was speaking of.
What is the difference that renders Heidi’s analogy wrong?To the folk who state adultery and divorce is comparable with domestic violence, have a think. Just think.
This is why there is pretty much one chance to let her see you are willing to fight for her, that you are ready to lay down your life and cherish her.She probably has tried to ask for help. Perhaps not in the clearest of manners but in her mind she has told you what she wants. And sadly, I have seen too many men ignore their wife until it is too late. As much as her behaviour is sinful, she will answer to God either in this life or the next. But it does not change the fact that your behaviour has made her loose her love.
I don’t think it is healthy for you to live a life full of regrets, but I do think you need to accept the consequences of your actions. It is time to figure out the best way to move on
In this case? The woman took 2 of her 3 children and left her husband. It’s a disgusting situation that involves at the very least emotional abuse and neglect of this child. I cannot imagine what it is like for the child who was simply left behind by their mother. If it was the eldest, no doubt it will affect this child for a long time to come. If it was not the eldest their has got to be absolute fear in the hearts of the 6 and/or 4-year old that their mother could simply leave them. While not physical violence, I believe CPS would classify this act as one of violence due to the stress placed on the children by separating them.To the OP-get a solicitor. Protect yourself emotionally and legally. Don’t do anything to damage the relationship your children have with their mother. Ensure you mantain a close relationship with your children,

Hopefully this thread will be shut down.
In all honesty, given the behavior towards the children, a lawyer and psychologist are still in order. Leaving one of 3 children and disappearing for some time is incredibly damaging to them. I would not be surprized if in all of this your children start acting out in extreme ways.Update:
My wife has returned home and has said that she wants us to fight together for our marriage and our future. The real fight now begins. With faith and hope I truly believe we will walk the path together toward a brighter future.
Thank you all for your kind words, prayers and advice, and if you read my OP I never cast myself as innocent in this whole mess.
My faith has been galvanised by this nightmare, and I will thank the Lord every day for the opportunity I have to put things right, to rebuild trust and forgive.
The many replies were sent from far and wide, but it reminded me that we share more than that which divides us.
Bless you all, and thanks for your support and prayer.
Ahh. Ok. That’s a bit better. Still, lawyer and psycologist should still be deeply involved in this situation for the time being.Yes, she took all 3.
