Gents, Today I was able to finally skype with the wife. Everything was going normal and it was very cordial. I started talking about us finding a house that I have described on here. She went silent and then hit me with the words "I want to find a place for the kid and I". I was flabbergasted by it. I wouldn't say out of the blue but it was it.

She stated that things haven't been good between us, which I would agree to. She went to discuss her independence and all that fun stuff. She stated she regained her old self back and such. I was just sitting there laughing internally but just shocked by it.

I asked point blank "You are talking about separating, taking my kid away from me" She did the hamster bullshit and explained it wasn't taking away and she was going to have her 50% of the time. I just sat there realizing that I am a fucking statistic right now. Got a verbal heads up for a separation/divorce when I get back.

I don't know where I am right now. I am literally mad and I am laughing too at the same time. I'm upset that my wife will make such a self-centered decision but at the same time not shocked due to the readings.

My kid is everything to me and this is what I am dealing with. I need some advice moving forward...this has gone faster than expected.
