I’ve posted on here a few times in the past couple of weeks. I’m 44 and my STBXW is 39. Since she told me 2 weeks ago that she no longer loves me and wants a divorce, she has spent a lot of time out with her girlfriends socialising and clubbing. She didn’t get home till around 4.30am this morning. I’ve been making the most of it, spending time with my son. This morning we are watching a kids film in bed and there was a moment which made him sad and he starting asking questions about us separating. I thought it might be good if my wife got up for a while (she is currently sleeping in the spare room), just so we could both reassure him together that we are amicable and will remain friends. I knocked her bedroom door and woke her telling her of his concerns. To my astonishment she was not prepared to get up for even 10 minutes. She said she had a long chat with him 2 days ago and he was fine. She said she will talk later when she gets up. She seemed very disgruntled that I had awoken her. I think the least she could have done is got up for a few minutes whilst he was feeling like this and returned to bed after we both had reassured him. She will probably be in bed for most of the day and won’t get up till much later. I thought it was a pretty poor show that she wasn’t prepared to give him a few minutes of her time whilst he was feeling vulnerable. Is anyone else having a similar experience?? We are all still living in the house and we are at the very early stages of the process, so this is probably going to be a regular occurrence. We are amicable and I am hopefully going to buy her out of the family home. Due to my job my son will eventually live with her and I will see him once a week (when he stays at my mum and dads) and have him every other weekend.

I haven’t filed or anything yet and my STBX is doing this exact thing. I’m the babysitter and she’s out all the time. She decided today she was taking our teen daughter to the guys house she cheated on me with to stay the night and expected me to be okay with it.
