Yeah, I have a few points of confusion on that whole exchange
Why did she ask me if I was 'ok'? Because I wasn't giving her the 'attention and enthusiasm' about her life that she needed?
She expects you to be her cheerleader, Frank. When you didn't cheer, she wondered if you are "okay" or "mad" at her. She reminds me of a child that knows better than to act up, does it anyway, then has the gall to ask if Dad is mad at her. The thing that makes this unacceptable is YOUR WIFE IS A GROWN WOMAN. She knows damn well she's manipulating you. She just chooses not to stop. Frank, you're a sucker. The reason you are continuing to be "confused" by those exchanges is because you so want them to be sincere - as if she really cared if you are hurt, angry...whatever. She doesn't care how you feel. She only cares that you will enable her to feel in the manner she chooses to feel, which in short is relieved of responsibility and excused for her childishness and unwillingness to grow up and think of anyone other than herself.
You are still searching HER. Screw HER.
Search for Frank. He existed before she came along and he will exist if she chooses to leave. In addition to that, he is the only one you HAVE to live with for the rest of your life.
