I see one or two of these traits in me. Selfishness for one.
My wife getting a better job(financially) than me and that resentment. Before I had always been the sole provider.
Moving to a new country, not having a green card and feeling useless. Mild depression didnt help and I shut down because I felt her bipolar was way worse than my "blues" and I didnt want to burden her.
I could have been more understanding, listened to her more.
Knowing her love language(s) and her mine would have been really useful.

I think we could have really worked on our marriage back in nov 16 but her resentment and hatred had built up so much along with her affair that it was all over and I could do nothing to repair it. Thing is , we had a really amazing, loving relationship for so long, we're so compatible in so many ways and I can never see myself loving someone like her in that way again. She did change though..
