My life has come to an impasse recently. I finally realized that my wife is not and cannot be the person I need. After the most recent incident in which she lost all of our money in a spectacular way, I realized she does not see how disrespectful she is to me.
She has an argument for absolutely everything and assumes everything I say is an attack on her. I've asked her why I would be with her if I could only say bad things but she refuses to see it that way.
Anyway, she always has to have the last word, she is hurtfully dismissive of everything I say, she refuses to accept that she can be wrong too - even with overwhelming evidence.
We have decided divorce is the only option. I am not scared. I have a few concerns, which is probably normal. I feel nothing in regards to this life change. No urge at all to reconcile. No need to hate her or be spiteful. No desire to embarrass her or to share her. I have already forgiven her.
I should say, my emotions rarely show up. She, on the other hand, is completely irrational and will trust her emotions over clear logic. I think that will be a factor as we move forward with separation, then divorce.
