Can anyone Help

I'm hoping someone can help me or give me some advice.

I have been seperated now for 8 months from a marriage of 14 years and 2 boys 9 and 14.

My wife though nothing was wrong but little known to her i was always seen as the understanding husband as she was a very difficult in her ways. Eeven her own brother said to me he was suprised i did'nt do it years ago

I decided to leave one Saturday just upped and went. There was and still is some companionship with someone i work with but this is not the reason i left. I did not tell her until 2 weeks ago that i had been seeing someone and now i have been honest with her and told her about this person she now believes that i have left her and my sons for another women.

My wife has involved my sons terribly she has done dreadful things to me also emailing my MD and boss sending dreadful text messages and not letting me see my sons

I have tried to talk to her but we always end up going round in circles and she has even attacked me

She has got better but i still can't trust her she's now saying that unless i say that i am on my own i can only see my sons every other Saturday 1 - 4

I know she also wants me to spend money taking her to court for her to say i would have let you seen them anyway.

I just want her to accept the situation and leave my sons alone and let them see me on a more regular basis and quality time.

It's really getting to me

Anyone who can help me please

At 9 and 14 I'm sure the boys are capable of expressing their wish to see you or otherwise. Clearly your wife is having difficulties coming to terms with the situation. Using your sons as bargaining tools is absolutely wrong and potentially very damaging. My advice is that you apply to the court for a contact order. Doing this will secure your contact to them and, more importantly, their contact to you. If its possible discuss this with your wife beforehand. She may see sense and the need to go to court could be diverted. 

When you say that you did not leave her for another woman, there is another woman and you do/did have a realtionship with her. Not surprisingly your wife feels hurt and betrayed!
