A little background. My wife and I have been married for 18 years and have two wonderful children 8 and 5. The kids are my life. My wife had an affair 8 years ago (that's right) where she offered the guy a chance to claim paternity on our daughter. He turned her down flat. Due to my own esteem issues, and a desire to love and nurture my child, I stayed with my wife, not even mentioning her affair in the hopes that we would grow past it. We have never really had a marriage. She is manipulative and controlling. Completely incapable of admitting error. I was a doormat. Three weeks ago, she quit her job of thirteen without any warning, left me scrambling to get us insurance. And has not moved off that couch to even attempt to get a job. This was the last straw. I cannot see with all of our problems, not all of which I've listed, how we can reconcile this. I've offered to go to marriage counseling, but she won't. We're already sleeping in separate rooms. Communication has completely broken down. I don't know where to start. I've never dealt with the legal system before. Heck I've never even had a speeding ticket. Help!
