Yes Luke, it is not a surprise that she's showing you disdain. She has disrespected and disdained and verbally abused you since you got here and long before that, if not for the entire course of your relationship. She has brought you so low that you can say "it's weird to be nameless" instead of "it's weird that an adult would act in such a ridiculous way" or "it's weird that I still want to live with someone who is so rude" or all the other things I was thinking about her refusal to say your name during happy birthday song.
She is being over the top aggressive and disdainful, not to mention absurdly childish. Why has she chosen to abuse you for so long instead of just getting the divorce she has claimed to want?
I believe she actually gets something positive out of treating you like crap beneath her shoe. And she has damaged you to no end.
EE has helped you a lot, I can see that. I wish you could wipe the slate clean, see her with clear eyes, and laugh confidently when she acts ridiculous instead of going off to ponder why.
Luke, you surely have a great name, and you're interesting and fun and personable. Unshackle yourself from her and you will probably enjoy a life you never knew you could have.
