Emotional abuse in the fact that has consistently criticized me, put me down, bullied me, and in front of friends etc... For a long time, I thought that was what marriage was about, working through issues. Her mother called me a "simp" years ago. Her aunt alled me a "Saint" for putting up with her. She has the family reputation of being a bossy and domineering person. Of course, now her family is 100% on her side.

A few years ago, I did tell her I would not accept being treated disrespectfully anymore, especially in front of others. She did agree that she was treating me badly and behaved better for a while. Until Bomb drop.

L said no worries about kid issue. 50/50. She can scream about it all she wants.

No counseling, no belief that anything is wrong with her. No empathy, nothing. She has not changed or accepted responsibility.
