She asks in an elevated voice what happens to her if I die?
SERIOUSLY????

She then goes on to say she deserves something for putting up with me for 32 years. I respond why do you expect to get everything and I'm not allowed to get anything in return?
I'm just speechless here, I mean WAW's can be a little out there but this is just a visit to cray-cray town here, LOL! I do like your responses to her!

She kept saying, "I'm done. I'm done. You hurt me in our marriage and you still want to hurt me now!"
I'm sorry, but death BENEFITS are a BENEFIT of being married and sticking by someone's side. Not of ditching them when you get tired or bored.

This is from the same woman who put over $90k in credit card debt (which I'm ordered to pay the large majority of)
My W did the same. I can't remember the exact dollar amount but it was close to that. She quietly accumulated it over a decade while I was saving to pay off our house. When I sprung the news on her one Christmas that our home and cars were paid off and we were completely debt-free, I got a deer-in-the-headlights look. Not at all what I expected. Yeah, little did I know we were nowhere close to debt free. I still think that was a large part of BD, was all the anger and resentment she built up over the debt that she never told me about. I had to pay a large chunk of that in the divorce as well. But I'll tell you, it is really nice to know I am completely independent of her financial follies now, so at least you have that going for you too. As tight as your financial situation may be, at least it is 100% in your control now.
