Today Laura moved out of the bedroom. I guess she decided to quit pretending that we were more than just legally married anymore. Frankly, she has criticized and belittled me enough that I don’t care. She has completely dropped everything in my lap for two years and still she feels she has the right to criticize how I bear the crushing weight she left me with. The only thing that has changed is I no longer play lapdog while she she lectures me for handling things differently than she imagines she would handle them.
I’m done pretending that is okay for her to make it impossible to communicate with her and still retain the right to criticize my decisions without her when she does so (especially decisions that were exactly what we discussed in advance).
I don’t want our marriage to ultimately fail but that would probably be preferable to pretending that the way she treats me is acceptable. Hopefully sooner or later she starts to see the truth of how much I have coddled her and how necessary it is that I stopped.
