But this brings up a deeper point. Why did you automatically assume that he must have cheated or otherwise wronged her?
Why did you immediately jump to that instead of the possibility that maybe she's the issue?
Because she would have to know how silly it would look to the world to be going this hard if she wasn’t cheated on, abused, etc.
She’s acting like SOMETHING occurred that caused her to pump the brakes.
Either:
-She’s tired of being the breadwinner
-He cheated or she found out he was emotionally cheating/setting it up with a side chick
-He was physically or emotionally abusive to her and/or the kids
I feel like she’s doing the passive aggressive thing where you don’t actually tell people what happened, but you just continue to infer that something happened. And that is annoying.
It’s her experience and her pain, but it’s also his. So if they aren’t going to talk about what happened, all this dancing around it is weird.
It’s like she wants people in their business to a certain extent, but not completely- and it doesn’t work like that. That’s why some people go radio silent or let it all out in a book or interview.
It seems like she’s dragging it out and trying to punish him in the public square.
If all it is is, she’s just bored or something- that would be insane.
But aren’t her parents still married? And her sis? I don’t think she’d walk away without having a reason. I know the ppl in my family who got divorced had plenty of family interventions before it got there because my family is filled with married couples.
