I quite simply do not understand how you can be married to a person AND have five children over 10 years, and then say all the things you have said about your wife.
She's too short.....REALLY??? This is honestly a problem of yours?? Was she too short for you when you were making five children together?
Ridiculous....
She's not smart enough for you....REALLY???? She was smart enough to spend enough time with to eventually marry and have five children with, but not now?
Ridiculous...
She's not religious enough for you anymore....WHAT???? Are you some kind of ultra-bizarre fundamentalist who requires a subservient wife who kow-tows to your every wish?
Ridiculous...
I see that you've been pretty active on the board. That's good in one sense because it always helps us get outside of our situation and feels good to try to help others.
But let me suggest to you that you've got some serious...I REPEAT, SERIOUS....soul-searching to do OF YOUR OWN.
Sounds like your wife may have some issues of her own, don't get me wrong. And maybe this marriage of yours that produced five children is not going to make it, who knows?
But I find it terrible that you've tried to chronicle her shortcomings (rather poorly I might add), meanwhile we've heard very little about you. I've never even read anything from you regarding your role in your children's lives. For most men on this board at least, our children are the one good thing still going on in our lives - to the point that we usually talk a lot about them.
I think maybe you need to stop thinking SHE has the problem and start looking at your contributions. Maybe if you made yourself more attractive, the marraige issues would improve some.
I'll leave you with a religious quote, since you seem to be hung up on things religious...
