Couples after Sobriety

Newly Sober Prospective

I know this is going to make me sound like a selfish ass but I need to vent. My wife told me she was leaving 2 weeks ago. We have 3 young girls together, 5, 4, and 18 months. She told me she didn't love me anymore and that she hated me.
I'm only 43 days sober and I tried to do the right thing by her and the kids by saying she could stay here as long as she wants.
The problem is, I can't take it anymore. She's treating me like nothing has happened and that it's so easy for her to get over. I still have emotions that I'm trying to hide but it's clear she doesn't. It is starting to get to me and making me think of the bad stuff again, which I've never had the feeling of doing since quitting.
My question is, what would you do in the same situation or what would you suggest I do?
I have already explained to her not to treat me like a friend as she broke my heart (apart from in front of the kids of course). But she's not listening.
I'm hurting and I cant start grieving until she's out and I can truly focus on myself and positives, not the negatives.


Suggestion

Be humble, protect your family from your newly sober mood swings. Think about going to a recovery home.

When a loved one treats me like nothing ever happened - I appreciate that - start from today. You can process what remains important as you go along with increased serenity.
