"It's almost as if she's pooping in his face and getting a huge laugh out of it." Mindreading. Assumptions like that just get people angry and doesn't help with interactions with children.
thank you for saying this ^^^bond...a lot of projecting is going here from some folks who were or are very hurt.
I get that.
25mlc,
Some of us aren't "hurt" or "projecting". We see it for what it is, and sometimes it's as simple as that. The spouse has deteriorated into a full narcisstic shell, and that's what exactly what it is.
I personally got whooped to the point where I'll never try to hang onto someone who doesn't want me ever again. I'll say "are you sure your sure?" and let go.
This type of attitude is key in attracting positive and qualitiy relationships for yourself.
