        Man, your wife is a keeper.

        My ex would say “you’ll figure it out”.

        Then ask me later to send one for her, and get mad that I say I can’t right now, I’m focused on work.

        Then she’d forget to wrap presents. I would have too, to be fair, but I kept them in my office for a month so I always knew they needed to be wrapped. Still wrapped them Christmas eve, but the point is I didn’t forget.

        It was a terribly unhealthy relationship, and her offering to help induces far more jealousy than one might expect.

          Sounds like it was a toxic relationship, glad you got out of it. She may not be a bad person, just not the right one for you. Did she also have ADHD?

            Yeah she did. There was a lot of other stuff that I don’t have details on.

            Not “out of it” yet. It feels like the divorce is taking forever, and because we have a son anf no job with benefits I can’t just kick her out. My mistake was thinking after she cheated on me 4 years ago that we could save it.
