    I wonder why he married such an awful woman, or how a nice woman can change so much in just 18 months.

    He is asking himself the same question. From the moment they decided to get married something changed in her.

    No I haven't heard his wife's side of the story. They avoid spending any time together unless it is with the children. They have even shifted their bedtimes so they don't have to spend time in bed together. This has been going on since they got married 1 1/2 years ago.

    really?

    reminds me of the 1st episode of Friends, where the man pretends he hasnt has sex since he split from wife/partner and the question is asked 'why would he say that?' ....to get you into bed

    Probably both, as a matter of fact.

    I know people will find this hard to believe but this is actually what is happening. I have received many emails in the middle of the night when he is working from home, which he prefers to being in bed with his wife.

    He's the one who deserves the criticism IMO - he's the one who is breaking promises.

    What's strange is why you don't find it hard to believe.

    You're taking the word of a known liar!

    Or he could be emailing you from bed. He could by lying there right next to his wife and writing to you about how much he loves you and what a horrible, horrible person she is.

    You can't really be this naive.
