This must be the breaking point

I should double check first with a coach man , for me maybe there is another reason why she lacks energy when it comes to you , not saying you are doing wrong and forgetting about your birthday just really sucks

My breaking point was when she didn’t get an anniversary gift for me after I had told her many times how important gift-giving was to me as a show of affection (it might not be important to other people, but it me it means that someone took the time to look at another person, see what’s going on with them, and be thoughtful about something they might like).

Have you tried couples’ counseling? I’m of mixed opinion about my experience with it, by the time I suggested it she was already checked out (and reconnecting with her ex from high school). But it’s worth a try.

You can also lawyer up at the same time and get advice and figure out the process. Knowing the process in your state is really important to making good choices.

Man, second forgotten birthday, you're on the road working, not even a text, and you've already found the auto-delete message app that's not the breaking point, that's confirmation you've been at the breaking point for a while and just needed one more thing to stop questioning yourself. Skip the coach, hire a family law attorney first (consultation this week, not next month) because if she's using auto-delete apps she's already covering tracks and you need to know your rights and next moves before she knows you know document everything quietly app discovery, disengagement pattern, anything financial that looks off, don't confront her yet, and get legal clarity on how to protect yourself when you pull the trigger. You've already decided, man, now it's just execution.

May want to talk to her first if there's any chance of salvaging your marraige.
