Wife has been distant today. I'm staying away from her. She continues to be rude, short tempered and irritable around me. With the kids, she's a peach.
I've watched her mother do this with her father. Treats him like sh!t. They are divorced. Looks like she learned the behavior well.
Dr. James Dobson talks about how he feels that the dissolution of a marriage happens gradually over time. It results from the slow devaluing by one spouse of the other. The lack of respect that ensues is the cause of the enmity.
Without no respect, there can be no loving relationship. It seems pretty obvious to me that this is where we are.
