Long time lurker here, first time poster.

So tonight I finally bit the bullet and filed for divorce on the governments website. I can’t believe it has come to this but I have had enough of being belittled, made to feel useless and constantly criticised for anything I do. I provide everything in this house and marriage and she has never had to pay for a thing except food! She never ever compliments me or praises me for doing anything right. I’ve given her a life without worry.

All it’s been this past year is non stop arguments, tonight she turned her back on me and stormed off. When I asked how long is she going to ignore me for she said ‘ how does forever sound? ‘ and laughed so that’s why I started the divorce. And now she’s acting all surprised and says ‘ I can’t believe you’re doing this, there’s no going back blah blah blah ‘ and has even got her brother messaging me saying how ashamed of myself I should be 🙄 I’m tired of trying to be mr nice guy and tolerate all this abuse she throws at me but tonight, enough was enough. I have a 6 year old daughter who I adore and never want to give up on and it saddens me that she will be upset but I know in the long run she will be better off for it.

Thanks for reading, it probably doesn’t make much sense but I needed to get it off my chest. Would be open to anyone’s thoughts if possible
