Your wife is a chronic sour puss. She is the one who wants to break your spirit. It's ticking her off that you might actually come out of this sick marriage with your soul intact and open to a better life. You don't come across as power-hungry and status-obsessed. Your career path has been a natural evolution from law enforcement to eventual attorney. She's creating a straw man to knock down. She tried putting on an act of being spiritually enlightened, but it was all a fraud. Now what's coming through is that she is really spiritually bankrupt. She's petty and mean-spirited. You wanted to part with mutual respect. Not her. She's determined that you must be the bad guy and she must be the innocent martyr. Despite all that she formerly said, she does not belief in no-fault divorce. She wants to assign blame, and it's all going to be put on you. She's going to descend to lower and lower levels of ugliness. She wants you totally depressed. You are starting to show that you can cope with the loss of this so-called marriage. That has her totally frustrated. She planned to be all serene, talking about a soul-contract reaching expiration, while you were expected to be a complete mess. You were supposed to keep begging for her love, while she remained emotionally aloof. Somehow the table got turned because, though heart-broken, you are moving forward. She can't stand that you might come out of this okay. What evilness! What goes on in her mind is truly corrupt. Leastways, that's how she strikes me.
