Wife cheated 8 years ago, one time. I found MB, but still can't get wife to do program. Annoying habits make her unbearable to be around. I feel owed what she put kids/me thru. Every time I bring it up she feels controlled or just tells me these habit are no big deal or quit picking me apart, etc. There are 100/day. This far out i just work, provide for everyone, and am miserable. If I did plan B and left don't think she would care, just wants me to pay for everything. She spends all her energy on kids/self. None on me.

Welcome back, Woody.

What help are you asking for?

I worry that you will do the same as the only other time you posted, 5 years ago; post one terse post and never come back.

The 'can't get' 'feels controlled' and 'I feel owed' say it all.

I don't think his wife would miss he who must be obeyed.

He has right on his side but it can't be seen in the midst of his disrespect.

What would you do if you were not afraid?
