Talked to W. Said I was sorry for being such a lousy husband. She said I have no husband, that it is best to move on, that she has wasted 20 years of her life.
Said I would no longer accept being insulted, etc. She said she did not care, as I was an empty vessel, never spontaneous, always studying things, trying to become assertive, to get friends, that I had studied her to learn assertiveness. I said this was never my intention. I said well, I guess I should add thank you to my saying sorry.
She said if she hadn't married me I would be a weird little guy, and that only thanks to her did I have good kids. That now she was only waiting to finish the house and sell it.
Bottom line - neither sorry nor no more insults had any effect.
