We have been having problems in our 5 year marriage for about 2 years now. We have a 3 year old son and for the past 2 years, I have to basically take care of him by myself (when we aren’t at our jobs in which we have a nanny come by) because she refuses to do anything.
When I ask her for some help, she accuses me of limiting a woman’s freedom by asking her to be a stay at home mom (which isn’t true). She just watches TV and hangs out with her friends instead of helping me out. I ask her to at least cut the spending as we need the money to pay the bills but she makes accusations again.
Finally, I got suspicious a week ago and went to one of the bars she goes to and caught her making out with a random stranger. When I confronted her, she accuses me of stalking her and that I have no right to limit her freedom. When I angrily said that she had been cheating and that I would never do that, she starts punching me which shocked me as she had never done that before.
The stranger by the way also got angry at her since she lied to him that I was just her ex.
I ended up taking our kid to stay at my parents’ place where they are encouraging me to file a police report or at least file for divorce.
Maybe this is just me venting but why would she turn physically violent now?
