Thanks so much for that answer, Puppy Dog Tails. I needed that reassurance. This is the hardest thing I have ever done and right now I am definitely taking the "hit". It's so hard not to think that I should leave well enough alone. But so many on here are saying the same thing (that I should stand up for myself) and I certainly don't want to become a statistic three or six months down the road.

While she is venting and fuming should I just leave her alone? I really don't know what to say to her right now. I kind of exploded last night and when I went to see her on the sofa, she looked at me and said, "What?!" I just said, "I just wanted to say 'good morning' and I'm sorry about last night".


My wife is asking for a divorce and I don't completely understand why.
