My relationship of 13 years (6 years married) is coming to an abrupt halt. My wife has cheated on me with her ex in the past but we moved forward. I forgave her and I thought she was old news. I found out she was talking to ex again and I confronted her. She left for a few days. While she was gone, my best friend passed way. She did not call till the next morning to even see how I was doing. I could tell she was talking quietly and thought it was odd. I asked her mom if she was with her ex. It got back to my wife that I had called my mother-in-law and she called going off on me. She told me she was done with me and wanted a divorce. I was devasted..2 blows at once. I know I am the sole provider and made agreements that she could stay at the house till she got enough money to move out. She wants to still be my friend but I just can't do that. I am utterly heart broken and can't get myself to not want her. What do I do? I am crying all the time and don't know how to stop and to not feel like I just want to die.
You are tying to be too accommodating at the determent to your own mental health. You should not have to deal with letting her stay in your home. You are going to try to rely upon her for emotional support in your time of need and things will get really weird. Find yourself another friend to lean on right now, don't isolate.
