Gud, I repeat Jesse's suggestion of checking out link. I think you deserve to be reassured by professionals.
A low pressure warning on a tire is NOT an emergency. Nor does it need another person to check and/or fix.
I go online sometimes, but everyone's spelling is really bad. It's... depressing.

Gud, you are a wonderful and caring human being and a lot of people here care about you. Your wife's treatment is unacceptable and unreasonable.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Aw, Stan Lee passed away. 95 years old.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
{{{Gud}}} You obviously care about your family and deserve to live and forgetting your cell phone does not mean you don't.
Pretty, Laura! I'm glad you have them.

Aw, Stan Lee passed away. 95 years old.
I really hope he filmed a LOT of cameos ahead of time. I assume his cameos are shot for Captain Marvel and Avengers 4, but after that...it's just going to be sad to see the first Marvel movie without a Stan Lee cameo.

FYI, Gud, the last time I got a low tire pressure indicator, I went ahead and kept driving to Orange County, because it was NOT an emergency, or even an especially big deal. It didn't require the help of, let alone the abuse of, another person. Your wife is an abusive jerk and I really hope you'll get some help and learn to like yourself as much as we like you.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Gud, let us know if you've reached out to someone.
In other news, I have watched so many Law & Orders today -- I love it!! And I also got a couple of things done around the house, including making a big pot of excellent chili. It's a little salty, but I'm assuming that will mellow out in the freezer, which is where most of it is going.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Gud, absolutely 100% what everyone else has said. The person with whom you participated in a marriage ceremony years ago (she is not your wife or partner in any real sense of either word) is cruelly, toxically wrong. And at some level she knows it. If you can't push yourself into some kind of protective action for your own sake, think of E and L: you're telling them it is acceptable for one partner to treat the other in this way, that this is the way they should expect to behave, to treat those they love and to be treated by them as adults.
PLEASE hear us, please believe us.

In infinitely more trivial news (it did not belong in the same post as what Gud is wrestling with), I've been stuck in the apt. all day, hiding away from the smoke and gunk, and have thus been binge-watching scary shows (Matilda is in a filtered-air-filled mall with friends) and organizing like a fiend. Matters have now reached the point where everything looks several times worse than when I started. I know it's going to turn pretty soon, but GOD it's disheartening right now.

My massage therapist is a new step mother, and she was saying every time she told the 7-year-old to "clean her room," the kid would start trying to organize everything, which of course means everything gets way worse (for a while, ideally)! She finally figured out how to tell the kid that she means "get everything off the floor." Way more doable!!
