[QUOTE="BloodiedButUnbowed, post: 724734, member: 13303"] Thanks RN, If only my wife could participate in such a conversation. She cannot and that is the biggest reason why I am feeling this way. For the duration of our marriage she has been unwilling and unable to recognize her abusive tendencies and work to change them. When I try to explain how her actions hurt me, ironically, she responds to me with violence....screaming and yelling, and accusing me of being the worst person in the world for "criticizing" her. She is a textbook narcissist and sadly, also a textbook abuser. I am very aware that I will be deemed the devil incarnate for "abandoning" her after YS' actions. And even broaching the subject of a separation (let alone a divorce) will be enough to set her off. Before I say anything even approaching this level of magnitude, I need another place to go, and I need to be OK with a certain divorce. There is just no other way out and I say that knowing the kind of person my wife is and her capabilities (or lack thereof). [/QUOTE]
