Fuck man, I don't disagree with you. Don't construe my words as me saying there's nothing wrong here, but I also am not in the "omg just get divorced" camp, either. I've been in great and terrible relationships and I've seen behavior like above in both. There's a massive difference between "I'm serving you these papers to cause suffering or as a shit test" and what OOP's wife did. YES, her behavior was toxic. Toxicity doesn't happen in a vacuum.

I've been around plenty of guys like the greentexter, too. Aloof, unaware, "women say the darnedest things" types. If he doesn't see the situation and say, "Damn I got some problems with this relationship that need fixing" then he's insane. But this guy says, "I love you and I've always tried... Man this is weird, better post to 4chan!"

Perhaps she's been trying to talk to him about it but he's been acting like a dumbass and this was her last ditch effort to shake some sense into him. AGAIN, her behavior is unhealthy. But if his response to it is to show love, and hers is to break down and back away from the edge, then perhaps there is more foundation here than we're seeing in the context of this message.

I love my partner dearly and I regret to say I've acted in ways like this before during difficult times. Love is fucking hard sometimes. It's about how you pick the pieces up and move forward.
