LOL thanks for laying down the law! I went to church, treated myself to lunch and a haircut, and then went shooting Now I'm gonna do some stuff around the house and try to get a good night of sleep after I watch a movie.
My wife is crazy. We had previously decided that I would drop our son off at 9-9:30am, as I had to be at church by 11 and needed time to get ready and drive there. My wife texted me this morning asking if I could drop him off at 10:30, as she had decided to run an errand with her uncle and might not be back by 9:30. I said "I need to drop him off before than so I can have time to take care of myself before I go to church, we had already planned a 9:30ish drop, why are you changing it last minute?" This is after she had had Friday and Saturday to herself and I hadn't asked her to modify her plans at all.
Well this lead to her flipping out on me, yelling at me, and generally chewing me out that I'm not co-parenting well (um, I've basically been only parent) and then leading into a rant on the fact that we only have one car (though she has been borrowing her uncle's truck) and that she needs the car and she wants me to get her a loan for a car (after she bought herself a $4000 boat mind you). I basically told her I can't afford another car, she can get a job and get a loan herself, or borrow one of her uncle's cars like she's been doing. I didn't engage her much. This lead to a torrent of abuse and lecturing ending with "I'll get a car and pay for it with the alimony".
Well, she came over today, and started to talk to me, and we went around and around like we always have. Her saying she was never happy, always forced it, me asking why she went 5 years without saying anything (while trying to validate her feelings of course) and than suddenly, something gave out inside me. I lost the will to fight for it. I told her to do what she wants. It's been 6 months of being stomped on and I just hit a point where I couldn't take it anymore. I'm going to go out of town to visit my parents for 3 weeks, and after that I have a business trip. I told her that when I get back in a month we could talk about division of stuff and our son. But I just can't do it anymore.
