Main Event Infinity Loop

Need some real talk here. I've had more Main Events than I can
remember. I thought somewhere between 3-5 but I think it’s probably
more than that. These events are exactly as described in
/u/Rian_Stone’s recent post
[https://www.reddit.com/r/marriedredpill/comments/7xr2bp/shit_tests_and_main_events_they_are_not_container/].
Namely, “if she’s throwing out snot bubbles and you’re largely
indifferent”. I am indifferent. I throw in some comfort at these
times like a hug or "it will be okay, I love you" or something. She
thinks I resent her. It's indifference.
 
After witnessing (and feeling like a mere observer of) countless
hysterical breakdowns, I have to wonder if I'm dealing with something
exceptional here or if this is normal. Are your wives constantly
melting down (in extreme ways), or is my wife unhealthily invested in
the outcome of our relationship? I get the oldest teenager in the
house thing, but my gut is telling me I'm dealing with an emotionally
traumatized woman who can't deal with real life.
 
I have to wonder, because of her lack of ability to function in other
aspects of real life: making friends, accepting flaws in people,
dealing with normal shit that happens at a job, etc. I'm not going to
sugar-coat my role in this, I've been a pretty big dick in a lot of
ways over the past couple years. Said some shit I could have kept to
myself, and run really high dread. I encourage her doubt I suppose,
but she's always been like this. I just happened to stop catering to
it and I'm fanning the flames with indifference. I don't really see an
option right now that doesn't involve pandering/babying.
 
edit: My wife knows I messed around with other women, but this has
been going on since before then.
