I think you did a really great job at keeping your composure. She definitely threw a ton at you and I think you handled it like a champ.
I also saw some familiar DB sayings. Owning up for you part but not allowing her to verbally bash you - way to go!
I too question about how you feel about this proceeding. Are you getting what is fair?
I mean asking you to split the divorce costs - geesh.
There are a few threads out there from other vets that experienced this kind of outrage from their wives. Bustorama comes to mind as does Denver.
Maybe worth checking it out.
I don't think your w's reaction is NOT typical. It seems to be a phase they all go through. IMHO - all part of the justification game they play with themselves.
If you can, shift through the conversation and see if there is any truth behind it. If there is.. change that. If not, let it roll off your back.
Keep on with the changes though. I know it's hard to understand but I believe that spouses spew venom because they are noticing the changes... but having a hard time dealing with them.

Show empathy when there's pain. Show grace when warranted. Kindness in the midst of anger. Faith in the face of fear.
