But, what I want to know is…was your first thought “She did that because she can’t afford to file?”
Because your first thought should have been, “Hey…I didn’t even realize that she was asking me to carry out her threats!”
The reason your first thought to this is important is because it will provide insight into the dynamics of your relationship.
My initial response to the "divorce" statement was that it was just another idle threat meant to wound me for the moment.

I’m also intrigue by the way both of you behaved today at church and after. It provided more insight into your relationship.
Both of you completely avoid the mention of the text argument from last night. She doesn’t acknowledge her wounding words and even displays an incredible lack of empathy for your feelings (You sure are grouchy). To which you state “Yup.” To which she responds with Acts of Service.
This isn’t the first time she has done this. Are you aware that after she engages in inappropriate behavior she engages in in Acts of Service?
I avoided mentioning it on the advice of my sponsor and grand-sponsor whom I both go to church with.
I need more clarification on the acts of service behavior you are seeing. It is definitely her primary love language. Words of affirmation and quality time vie for second place.
Wait, I think I see it today. She went shopping for us. and spent alot of time trying to be engaged with the fam today in a weird distant sort of way. Even left her phone in the car so no distractions.
