How is that a wife takes out an order of protection on her husband and moves out the house for two months and then the courts turn around and put her back in the apartment with an extention on the protection order?

Re: protection orders
This must be incredibly frustrating for you.
The best answer I can give is: you did not have a lawyer. This court order is very unfavorable for you. There may be circumstances that justify this outcome (was she homeless after moving out?), but I don't know what they are.

Although you did not explain the details of the protective order, it appears the court finds that her safety is in jeopardy.She has a right to remain in the matrimonial home.If the court is convinced that the threat is still real, the order will be extended.
Re: protection orders
There is no way to explain the situation without knowing everything that has happened. Mr. Van-Lare's response notwithstanding, the court may well have made a mistake. It happens all the time. If so here, you need to make an appropriate motion ASAP. Feel free to call me at 212-367-9167 to discuss this further. I do not charge a fee for the initial consultation.
