[quote=Anonymous]My ex-wife slowly evolved from being very nice and diplomatic to yelling multiple times per day and berating me over stupid things she wasn't even correct about (e.g. she misunderstood how to use the dishwasher and if I accidentally loaded it properly she would curse at me and tell me I'm an idiot). It slowly evolved to the point that I weirdly didn't even realize it was happening. In my mind, all couples were like that. You read things like "every couple fights," and I thought that's what they were talking about - it didn't occur to me that I shouldn't be getting cursed and belittled multiple times per day. I basically had PTSD from it at the time I divorced her. She stayed on my health insurance for a couple of years after the divorce and at some point I saw a list of prescriptions and she had gotten on anti-anxiety and anti-depression medications. I suppose it was a mental problem that had progressed as she moved from her early to late 20s.[/quote]
