Didn't sleep last night, darn it. I still don't know how to respond to her. Or if I should. Or how much money to allow her, or if I should cut her off completely (which I worry would just force her hand). I don't know if I should give up hope or not!
I have tried to give everything she's asked for in our marriage--money, support, chance for education, the best room in the house for her study at our last place... I tell her she's smart and beautiful, encourage her to do things and take vacations. All she can do is complain about what she doesn't have.
Now it seems all she wants from me is a check every month. If I give it to her, I feel like I'm being a doormat; if I don't, I feel like it'll force her to bring it to court, and then I'll have to by law.
And I can't even tell her I love her! What kind of world is this!?
