I just found out my separated wife is working in a Sydney brothel when we are trying to fix things between us. Should I confront her about working there or not because I've expressed in the past I didn't like her selling her self. She also has a full time job so I can't see it being all about money we also have a 2 year old daughter together.

Certainly sounds like a mixed up marriage. How does she protect herself against STDs? You have a two year old daughter, why would you want to expose her to STDs.

Confront her or not, you marriage is sort of doomed, is it not ?

Was she a prostitute when you met her?

'WE' are trying? I don't think so. You might be but it doesn't sound like she is.
Any confrontation is about the care of the child, not your marriage. I'd say your marriage is over.

I'm not sure I buy this at all.

I hope you are going for custody.

How do you know money is not the reason, while I may not personally approve of such work, she is not the first person to do this work.

I do not know about the courts in your area, but in Texas I have known cases where women in this line of work keep custody of their children, In today's world, morality is not as important in law as it use to be.

The issue here is, that for a couple to work things out, both sides must be truthful to each other. So counseling and complete honesty must be done.

You might consider talking with her about the situation. If you want her to listen to you, calm down and listen to her. If you 'found out' from a third party, you may not have the correct information.

Perhaps it is time for both of you to decide whether you are trying to fix the issues in your marriage with the hope of reuniting or you are too different to be together as a couple.

Are you in marriage counseling? If not, you might consider it. While you may not get back together, you will need to be able to work together in raising your child. Counseling might be a way for you to learn how to keep negative thoughts and feelings about each other from influencing how you parent your daughter.

If it is legal work, she isn't 'taking it home', and she is taking precautions with her health, then there probably isn't much you can say about her job(s). You can make requests. You can calmly explain why you prefer for her to work in a different industry. You can decide that you are moving forward with your life apart from her. But you do not own her or her body. Both of you have to make the best decisions for your own lives and work together to raise your daughter whether you are a couple or not.

Whatever happens with your 'wife', I caution you to not put your daughter in the middle. Even at two years of age, do not talk bad about your 'wife' to your daughter or in front of her. You may not approve of her profession, but attempting to turn your child against her (even if that is not your intention) is not healthy for the child, emotionally or mentally.
