Yep - I finally "got it." My wife has been nagging me to "get it" for years now. Too bad it took a divorce threat to get me to "get it."

Well, I have it, so I'm reforming. I just don't know if she'll really believe me. She told clergydude "he seems to be reforming, but he's done that before and then regressed."

That's not really true. She never gave me clear expectations on what exactly to do - just vague requests. She seems to be creating some bizarre narrative where I'm this Machiavellian manipulator who married her in order to annoy and ignore her for some nefarious purpose (which would almost, in a really bad way, be a little better because it would imply I knew what I was doing and thus had a plan - the real truth is much sadder: I was just a typical clueless male).
