Because obviously being a lying, cheating, family abandon-er trumps anything I did to our marriage in the past decade. Right?
Wrong.
I deflected any and all culpability in the failure of my marriage for months, holding on to the picture I painted of myself as the gentle, selfless and long-suffering wife. It wasn't until I found a therapist who called me out on my bullsh*t that I was forced to take a long, hard look at my shortcomings.
It wasn't pretty.
Here's what I now know actually screwed up my marriage. May it serve as a warning to you. Before it's too late.

You know the old saying, even a clock that is broken is correct twice a day.
Boy, she sounds like a keeper.
You’re the exwife and now you have a wuzband...
This is more like a clock that was taken into space and then thrown down a crack in an asteroid that was swept away by solar gravity tides and then while it was spinning the Hubble telecope took a picture of it exactly when sunlight flashed down the crack and illuminated the clockface that had broken and was stuck right at the time the photograph was taken.
But hey, everyone has to start somewhere.
One of my friends has/had a wife that si very much like this “B*tch”...
Especially when it came to her and her parents, specifically her mom... It was like she was married to her mom and not her husband.
Her mom invited herself to all their vacations....
No boundaries at all when it came to her mother, all sorts of boundaries were demanded when it came to HIS family....
My ex-father-in-law and ex-Mother-in-Law call me EVERY YEAR on my birthday. You cannot be more validated than that!
Old Joke: Why do divorces cost so much?
Because they’re worth it!
I know a few women who could have (or should have) written this.
I’ve garnered, ‘Wife’ status a time or two. I’m much preferring my current status of, ‘Independently Owned and Operated.’ :)
Where is my crazy vs hot chart?
I talked smack to my girlfriends, my mom, my co-workers. All. The. Time. “Can you believe he didn’t do this?” and “Why in God’s name did he do THAT?”
I used to meet my ex wife’s co workers, and they would usually look at me like “Gee, you don’t look like a one eyed monster!”. She walked, after 19 years of marriage. I gave her a year to come back, unconditionally, but she did not. The only small measure of comfort I got, was after three years, she told me it was the biggest mistake, of her life. Unfortunately, I stopped looking out the rear view mirror, 18 months earlier, and it was for naught :(
Yeah, it still get the invite to all the extended ex-in-laws Christmas gatherings.
LOL
She didn’t mention how he had asked her to go back to work considering she spent 6 hours a day watching TV, pouring her first whisky and water around noon (sometimes 10a) and frustrated by the lack of cleanliness evident in the corners of the home.
Her despicable behavior does not excuse his. He ceded whatever moral high ground he might have claimed.
It should come as no surprise when attractive young married women get hit on when they do their hubby complaining in public. It is a irresistible call for “side action” a lot of guys capitalize on....
The Ex bears some blame for not calling her out on her behavior and letting her know it won’t stand.
But I am AMAZED this showed up in the HuffPo!
Never knew a chart existed. I always had to do the math in my head. That includes the “Play Misty For Me” special who was incredibly good in.......uh, the kitchen.
