Hi All. Nice to see there are supportive minds here. I have a slightly different situation. I am 45 my wife is 33. We meet when she was 22. Dated for 10 years before eloping to Greece. Here's the deal. Nearly all this time I feel like I have been her Dad more than a husband. I do everything. I pay for everything, keep the house, cook the meals, take care of the cat, plan/pay for vacations. She claims she is so busy pursuing her passion which is yoga and I dont understand what it is to serve a higher purpose but I have always felt everything else comes before me. Her family is insane and are in constant crisis so their needs are prioritized, I feel like she has been brainwashed by her yoga studio and I can't have a conversation with her about anything normal. Everything is boiled down to energy and higher consciousness past live karma and whatever other hippy psycho babble her studio is preaching that day. Fortunately we do not have kids and I did get a pre nup. I am for the most part retired and live off my assets, real estate stock portfolio etc. We have been in therapy for 9 months but I dont think its helped. I have had some breakthroughs and awakenings for personal issues I have but I can't say the same for our marital issues. I usually feel ganged up on in therapy anyhow and just dont want to go anymore. Sex is non existent, she does not provide any sort of emotional support for me and when she starts talking about nearly anything at all, all i can think in my mind is, please stop talking. We are on a weekend away right now and had another pointless fight that pretty much ended in us deciding to separate. I have guilt though. I feel bad that she has to go back to her crazy dysfunctional family. I think she deserves better but that's not something I can change. I also feel bad that I think she would be a good mother and that she should be a mother and I worry that now that she is 33 I took her best years for that to happen. I have always wanted a partner and friend since I dont have many but always just had a dependent in her. As I type I guess the answer is clear that this is not working and I need to take care of myself but maybe you guys can see something I am not and help me to determine if there is something I am doing or not doing to help this marriage. I dont want to be single but I want a ride or die and that's just not my wife. Oh and she works and has always worked but never contributed to living expenses and won't. I'm fine with that if the sex was good. Or she kept the house, or cooked or was supportive and available or had a great family. She has none of that. So what's the point?
