You really fixate on your wife, huh? Like she's some all powerful demon. Guarantee she doesnt know or care her loser husband spends his days whining about her on a parenting/mommy forum. Youre just a bottom of the barrel person OP

As to verbal abuse, let’s turn the tables and ask whether you would put up with being yelled at and called nasty names in public because your DH was having a fit over some stupid thing? I don’t think so. My W cannot regulate her emotional responses.

I’ll accept lifetime alimony from her. She made $230K last year. She doesn’t need it.

So you were antagonizing instead of helping when shopping. Basically goading her into a negative reaction.

Anonymous wrote:Quick background. I’m a Foreign Servíce Officer married for 23 years. My wife has not accompanied me on assignments for the past few years as she pursues her own career. I have been considering divorce for some time. She is just an unhappy person and when she is around me she brings out the worst in me. I’m irritable and angry all the time, under stress. When she is not around, I’m calm and feel at peace. During this current assignment during COVID I’ve really started taking care of myself: exercising more, improved diet and I’ve lost about 16 lbs in the last six months.

Recently, she came to visit me at post. Her behavior while here confirmed for me I cannot live with her. She was constantly verbally abusive and demeaning me. She lost her temper last night b/c we were in an upscale department store and they closed the registers before she could complete her purchase. This led to a 20 minute tirade where I “ruin everything” and am just an “asshole.” She has no capacity for gratitude, complaining that I won’t drop $4K on a purse for her like other “husbands she knows.”

She forgets that she lives for free in a house I pay for, etc. She needs to grow up. She is narcissistic, spoiled and entitled. She has been making noises about quitting her job and joining me at post, but here she can tool around on her motorcycle. I don’t want her here. I need to file for divorce ASAP to keep her from coming here and ruining my day-to-day life.

Likewise, I guess the salaries of our senior military officers are “pathetic and meagre.” Obviously, no one here has served or is serving in a military or civilian capacity to treat the people keeping us safe from harm with disrespect.

Success is not measured by the size of your wallet.

I’ll take have if $4 million. She’ll be ok, as will I.

Reading skills people. Did you catch she makes $230K per year. Most EFMs would kill to even 25 percent of that rather than send me sh*tty CLO job. Appears OP’s wife has been able to make her career work while trailing.

Fine. But if she really has been trailing for 23 years, andespecially has kids, she would very likely be making even way more.

The OP's wife sounds like she's a genuine winner and successful person, whereas OP sounds like a total loser. Maybe that's where the resentment is. OP's wife can afford that 4k bag, he certainly cant, and that's why he got triggered.
