Here’s my thought on this: If an outsider was trying to come into your house and destroy your family, cause irreparable damage to your children, and take your wife away from you how long would you fight to protect them?
Boundaries are what keep the outsiders out. Letting your wife do whatever she wants with no consequences when it distresses you is being a doormat. She has lost respect for you because she can push you around. Waiting to see if the outsider is going to leave on her own is not productive.

That's her problem. You feeling good is a problem????? Anger is good. It means she is still attached. If she becomes numb or disinterested beware. (Detachment is not disinterested BTW.)
