I believe in wearing the ring. I still care and love her. It is the sign of the commitment I made to her. Plus we are still a married couple.
The things that she says are negative have happened in the past. Items like when I became frustrated that we went over our monthly budget. Especially when she had an expenditure that I did not know about. Or when she did not turn in her expense reports for the hotel and car rental on business trips and we would have to cover those costs for for months. Or when I became frustrated with the kids when they were 3 and 7 because they would be difficult to get to bed some times.
I am working on being more deep and descriptive of my emotions. This is one of her complaints. She wants to know what is the root cause of feelings or compliments. She is not satisfied by me saying I am angry that you did whatever, or I am disappointed, or you look beautiful in that dress, or your exercise and diet have made you look awesome. She wants more.
She also wants me out of the house. She sends info on apartments or places to rent.
So how do I step away from her? She is unwilling to leave.
