My wife is upset that Im really focused on going back to school now, and didnt get to it when i should jave ove the last 10 years so I/we could have been in a better place financially now. I get it, and wished i could go bavk and do it when i said i would years ago. That said, im really trying to focus on me, and also change some of the things she complained about a year ago that WERE valid.

I dont know how to rwspond to her because shes really hurt and resentful i didnt do this years ago when I said I would and thst I could have helped the family more financially now. She teared up when she asked why now and I answered her, i responded by giving her a half hug to console her. Its hard for ne to see someone I love so much tear up over anything. I have apologized for this in the past and know that i cant keep apologizing, so i dont know the appropriate way to react when she gets emotional about it now?

It really is hard getting beat up emotuonally over the same things when you have agreed with your W, apologized, and addressed all of them. I get it that they are areas of hurt and resentment, but I wish she could look at more than the negative side of things. I worked hard for 16 years to take care of my family but none of that is remembered.

This truly hurts. Out of everything ive done, this is how she pays me back? I deserved better than this.
