Lack of communication led to me seeking my needs being met outside of the marriage.
Off the top of my head:
1) She feels I want to get rid of her for someone 'better' 2) She feels I am not happy with her lack of earning/job status (I am not), and she does absolutely nothing about it other than wallow in self pity 3) Feels I never want her friends to visit at the house or that I want to go out with either her or her friends (again, false) 4) Feels she 'has nothing' 5) Feels she has accomplished nothing 6) Has no self-esteem/worth/confidence (yet refuses to do anything to improve them) 7) Hates her job (but won't quit) 8) Claims people in NC don't like her because of her accent (she is Quebecois) 9) Claims she is discriminated against by people in NC because of her accent 10) is clinically depressed but won't get treatment 11) Is essentially an unhappy person to be around 12) Claims she can't talk to me (partially true - I am working on that in therapy)
But hey, she is OK with spending my money living on her own.
