This will sound cold, but in my experience, it is more than likely true. Your wife finds her relationship with you pretty dismal. She has to go to school (because she aspires to better things), work full time, study, take care of two kids, and she doesn't get many emotional strokes from you. But she does get hit on at work and that makes her feel attractive again.
So she wishes she could be free of all the stress and load your marriage means. I don't even know what to suggest to help here. She will miss the kids, and you, after a while at her sister's, but she will also remember how depressing the load of responsibility was. She probably won't come back.
I would recommend that you start preparing to get the kids. Talk to a good lawyer. Hide money, in unknown accounts. Take your photo albums and such and store them somewhere safe.
Then court her. She wants so to be courted. To feel young, attractive, free and happy again. If you can help her with this, then you'll stay married. But she's already 98% out the door, so you are about out of chances.
The kids are hurting by now, becuase they have sensed the stress, depression, and unloving feelings. Try to protect them, if you can.
God bless you.
