Were you supportive of her getting an education & a way to support herself or is that just another reason for her leaving? Are you willing to give her the suppirt she needs to accomplish her goals? If you are, does she KNOW that?

Many times a wife who isbfed up will take an action & tell you what they are doing & just see what your response will be. If there has been lack if suppirt you can bet thats what shes waiting to see what kind of response & support you will show to her NEEDS. Some women done even know themselves well enoygh at that age to know to ask for it or feel they will be refused so they just do & see what kind ofreaction they receive to determine how they respond.

Your marriage seems like it has pretty much been about you & the kids & NOTHING about her & suppirt she needs to become an individual that is part of the teamwork if the marriage with an ability to care for her kids if anyrhing should happen to you for any reason. Sitting back & waiting to see may NOT be the kind of support out of you that she is looking for.
