Hello all my name is Chris

my partner/ex partner / I don’t no has been diagnosed with severe depression borderline personality disorder and bipolar / on top of this we have 8 children life with her over the last nine years has to the most part been great ups n downs but mostly full of love n laughter .

i have just found out that over the last 6 to 8 months she has been using Instagram and what’s app chat to have online relationships with numerous men mostly from India

she does not seem to be able to see or admit that what she is doing is wrong or understand my frustration

she left on Boxing Day choosing her phone and the men she talks to over myself and our children she has only seen the kids for about an hour since she is coming back to town tonight for our 14 year olds birthday tomorrow and I have told her unfortunately she must stay at a hotel for the kids sake as they are upset from her leaving and have also seen her video chatting some of these men

she says to me they are lying and there thoughts and feelings don’t matter 😭

which is a 180 for her as she usually a fantastic mum with the kids always coming first

my question is one of many ha ha

but how do I get her to see reason and reality without it coming to an argument or just going around in circles? Thanks for any advice or links to read Chris .

Hi and welcome

Have you talked to her about why she left?

Our helpline might be a good place to start especially since this situation involves children. Maybe contact Relationships Australia if she is wants to make the marriage work.

Over a week without seeing the kids I can't imagine as a mum but right now your doing the right thing protecting your childrens emotions.
