Sorry, askye. I hope things work out.
Your wife is wrong, Gud.
Faith: A kid. Angel's got a kid. Wesley: Connor. Faith: A teenage kid born last year. Wesley: I told you, he grew up in a hell dimension. Faith: Right. And what, Cordelia spent her last summer as… Wesley: A divine being. Faith: Uh-huh. Can I just ask--What the hell are you people doing?

Thrive to spite them
Your wife is entirely wrong.
She won't change. She will always find fault with you because she is abusive .

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Gary and I have today off from work, but the nursery school/daycare is open, so we have a rare day at home alone.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Nice, Sheryl. Enjoy!
My bellydance teacher just sent out an email saying she is taking a break from dancing and the three of us remaining in the troupe should collectively figure out choreography and costumes and whatever for a while. I do not have a good feeling about this. I mean, it's probably a good thing for her to take a break, she has a broken bone in her foot and has been making noises about retiring for the past year, but I know none of us want to do choreography. Bah.

Truth.
I'm sorry, -t. I hope you find someone to take her place.

She also told me that the I did the cruelest thing that's ever been done to her, which makes me feel terrible. I'm not even sure what that is and that makes me feel like the worst person ever. I can't help but wonder if she's right and I'm really just that horrible of a person. Maybe I hide it when I online or something. Terrible as I'm feeling, I have to somehow keep my wits because I'd still under a lot of pressure from work. I can't stand how I am right now and there's no way out.

She is abusive and manipulative. She is abusing YOU. I hope she's not also abusing your children.

Is it easier for you to believe that than it is to believe that you're married to an abuser? I can understand how it could be easier to believe that the fault lies with you, but I desperately wish we could make you comprehend and really believe that you are married to an abuser.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Gud, not seeing a text does not mean anything, especially since you finally did answer and explained. Try to hear all of us when we say this to you. YOU DID NOTHING WRONG. As to "the worst thing," when you are calmer, ask her to explain. If she won't, that's just an unkind and abusive thing to say and it's not worth even thinking about. If she does, then you can work though it together.

Gud, no one makes that accusation without actually specifying what they're talking about. She may believe it's true, but she's using it as a weapon against you.

Gud, you did NOTHING wrong. NOTHING. You are not a bad person. You are being emotionally abused, and you (and the kids!) deserve so much better.

This needs to be repeated, and scrappy is wise.
