So what you are trying to say is that you are trying to strip your wife of all power? That just seems absurd. So is that the reason for taking her name off bank accounts? And taking her name off the vehicle title? Also not letting her name be on the property? I just don't buy that. I think you are mentally preparing for divorce. You proved that mentality once again when you stated you let your kitchen be an embarassment because in other words you'd be danged then to put any money into the house if she was going to divorce you. I think her having that retainer fee has really scared you. The only way you know how to fight back is to show your butt.

I also find it interesting that you haven't mentioned what you love about your wife? Or what good qualities does your wife have? You haven't even stated I don't believe ever that you love your wife.

She may not be about power. She may just not want to be intimate with you or get close to you. Your actions have been harsh and probably really pushed her away.

Just for the record because this seems like the harshest thing you have done to her but could you clarify why you put her in jail that night? How long did she have to stay in jail?
