Well it’s not particularly wrong or unacceptable to be alone. People find things to do. Not everyone is partnered. Plus it’s much better to be alone than in a bad relationship. Now she does have to split child care time, but I guess it’s a bit different where her kids are older. I wonder why are you concerned with her being alone? Why is it an issue for you?

You wife is a royal pain and made everyone’s life extremely difficult, but it comes through your posts (correct me if I am wrong) that women need men to survive and cannot manage without men (preferably husbands) doing stuff for them. It’s a bit outdated. What do gay women or single women do when they need stuff done?

“Move furniture and fix cars”? I mean I am married but my husband and I pay our dealership to get cars fixed if need to, we aren’t car mechanics. My husband is RN, isn’t trained to fix cars. And we have movers moving our stuff. My daughter and son in law are moving to a new house this weekend. Their movers not only move stuff, they pack too. Single women do the same, fix cars in dealerships and collision shops and hire movers. When I was single no random men did things for me but I also didn’t sit around. Stuff gets done.

Having said that I get it that your particular wife is unable to manage. But that’s not a general rule of life that one must have a husband to get stuff done. Maybe your wife will come back home because she can’t manage. But that’s who she is. I find it bizarre that without separation agreement and filing for divorce people just move in and out renting and buying. It was all done so backwards. She makes no sense
