Tough break. I'm wondering what advice you, personally, would give to a woman who's been regularly and repeatedly abused by her husband... I say that because, frankly, I don't see this as any different. She's using a different method of abuse, but the net result is pretty much the same. "I'm sorry, it won't happen again" and then it does... Like everyone else on the board here, I'm on your side, but I have to tell you, in the interest of "tough love" from me to you, FACE REALITY for what it really is. Stop trying to spin doctor and sugar coat the situation to YOURSELF. Follow the advice of the brutal "get a mean-ass family lawyer" suggestions. Does that mean that you HAVE to get a divorce? No. However, I'd reccomend that you ensure that her behavior is going to have consequences. At this time, there really have not been any.. a few tears, a bit of self loathing on her part, but the meal ticket and the kids are still there. She's TAKEN something from you, and with any contract, there really should be some sort of restitution, whatever that may be.
