  1. Well after discussing things with my friends (one of whom is a solicitor) , I've just decided to start the ball rolling regarding petitioning the court for a divorce under the grounds of adultery. Even though we separated at the end of July, you can still divorce on adultery grounds if your partner gets involved with someone so soon after. She has no grounds to divorce me because she's always maintained that I am a perfect husband and father, but she just doesn't love me in that way anymore. Nothing valid there in the eyes of the law. Just gonna put the last 9 heartbreaking, gut wrenching months behind me ASAP.

  3. That's a horrible situation. Unfortunately, by the time someone decides to leave a relationship, they've already checked out emotionally - often because they've got somebody else lined up, but very rarely admit it. (I've got the t-shirt). Very tough for the one left behind, you've had all this come as a shock, plus the worry about your daughter. Do you think your wife would lie about how the bruise came about? I don't know your daughter's age, or if she could be coerced into covering up how it happened. It's early days, you must allow yourself to grieve for the relationship - you'll go through similar emotions as people do when adjusting to the passing of a loved one. I didn't really go through the "anger" phase, which made it hard to let go. Good advice from Nogbad re. talking to the mother-in-law, maybe sound out what she thinks. Please don't let you mental health deteriorate, contact your GP if necessary. You may well have already done talking therapies for the PTSD - it's something which I've found helpful in the past. Good luck - each day is a tiny step forward to a new beginning.
