Saying her socks don’t match shows how petty you are. Why are you divorcing?

Are you divorcing your wife and now she is doing all of this? Or are you planning on divorcing because she is doing all of this?

Anyhooo, family courts don’t care. 50/50!
Alcoholics, addicts, mentally ill, all get 50/50 until the kid has a tragic incident with them.

I don’t think this 60-something woman has kids young enough for custody. Sounds like 10 years ago she had teens involved in activities requiring long drives.

I am going crazy too. After over two decades of doing all the laundry, dishes, cooking, vacuuming, errands -- all while holding down a full-time job and raising all the kids 99% myself, I am done! It is normal. Women get burned out and men -- even those who claim to do "50%" -- have no idea how much it takes. I am amazed I can even wake up anymore or get out of bed.

Amen sister!

It sounds like your wife -- the woman who raised your children - is suffering and you have zero compassion.

My parent's neighbor became like that after her spouse died. She is a lot older than 60 but exhibiting the same behaviors.

My parents have lived next to her since the 1990s. All seemed to be fine until her spouse died.

Now she barely has room to pull into the garage. My mom says the first floor is full of new grocery and Costco type items.

She has adult working children living near her. She does drive to visit them.

Seems like you used her to give you a family and the freedom to have a career, took away her agency and options for a life of her own, and were surprised when that broke her.

No sympathy for a guy like that.

Who wants to live with someone like this faking or not?

And where’s the compassion for the woman who was your partner for decades? She’s of no use so now you (proverbially) spit on her?

She sounds very impaired, OP. No one can fake that level of disability.

It doesn't mean you should be her sole support, though. There is disability for that. Please consult a lawyer who can advise you, because the financial consequences for your future are SERIOUS.

How did this nonfunctional person manage to hire a divorce attorney?

If the price is right, someone will buy it.

If that’s fake that’s insane commitment to the bit. Seems more likely it’s real.
