"She would say (often) that I was condescending but I never understood why she would say that."
Yes I believe we all can see that now. When people first come on here posting their stories, they often don't write about who they truly are or truly behaved towards their WAS. Over time, their true nature comes out and in your case, you can very condescending. Funny how you never mentioned it till now.
That is one of the biggest issues you have to learn to correct if you want your W back. No one wants to be with someone who makes them feel stupid or not appreciated.
Have you actually tried looking into changing this behavior for good? I mean it tends to show up in your posts, so I don't know if that's something you want to change.
