Sorry, messed up with the input. Backstory is we've been married 2 years, known eachother for 8. We had an argument Wednesday, didn't go well said mean names to hear (which I instantly apologized... was because I was literally pushed to my limit and intentional things were being said though my action is still unacceptable).
She called today while I was at my parents house for the night and said she wants a divorce. She's thrown this word around for awhile now, on and off. Sometimes are great others are very difficult. My hobbies include working on cars, socializing. Mountain biking, sports, etc. Hers are gardening, cooking, reading, also studying Buddhism. (Reading books). I fully support everything she does. I never ask her to change her interests. I have a 1970 chevelle and have had for over 10 years. Completely rebuilt and my pride and joy. She wants me to sell it. She kept saying sell the car... sell the car just off the principle. She literally said she will not move on until the car is sold.
Later understood the issue was because I spend too much time working on the car, when in reality it's not much anymore. Maybe oil changes and fixing things here and there. She doesn't feel like I give her enough attention. She feels alone. She has broken up with me in the past about 6 years ago while dating, similar type of situation but after 3 weeks we worked it out. We have a cat and share rent month to month. Cumulative we make about 170k. I can afford my rent of $2850 mo, but will be interesting.
She said she is ready to move on. I disagree and want to work this out. I love her and will make the necessary changes to move the car from the house to parents house so it's out of sight. Well do more things together including cooking classes and such which she recently stated she would like. I'm going to be strong and work out work harder at work, find different instrests, read and be more productive with my life. I just want to show her this I'd such a mistake.
Obviously there's alot more that is needed to be said in this post but this is a bit of it. What is your advice? What cab I do. It is my fault? Is this irrational? Looking for advice
