We are headed in different directions. Kids are grown and out of the house. Just us two, but it’s been too many years. I should have ended it years ago, but maybe I was afraid or thought she’d change. The kids say I have too much patience and I should have pulled the plug a long time ago.
Thanks for letting me rant and the advice as always.
Unfortunately, she doesn’t see anything wrong with what she did.
I was helping her with her hobby, which I’m tired of doing. If she didn’t help, I wouldn’t even bother. I’m not set up for furniture repair, but I can get it done.
Not the top of the line, but an Irwin clamp. It works for my needs.
We talked last Saturday. It was a cluster**** due to her lack of logical reasoning. It wasn’t always like this, but has gotten worse over the past few years. I’m sure we’ve both changed, but I’m done.
This isn’t the first time she’s gotten paint on something i.e. paint all over a nice Bosch drill, screwdrivers, garage floors, etc. It’s not the paint itself, but her reasoning or lack of it on multiple issues that have built up over time.

Lets play this chess game forward a bit. You tell her it's over, both get lawyers and the skirmishes begin. She demands your 930 and your tool box in the settlement just to gouge your eyes out and now it's nuclear war. Six months later the divorce is done and the lawyers ended up with most of your life savings. You look at yourself in the mirror of your 1 BR apartment and wonder WTF did I just do???
It's an ugly business that will age you 5 years and severely drain your assets. Most relationship issues can be fixed if you want to fix them... But you have to want to fix them. Choose wisely.
