It’s a guilt thing.
And, she claims I suckered her into leaving the house.
The fact is, I did blindside her when I wanted to sell and move, BUT only because she’d made the home unlivable and was threatening divorce on her own schedule. I just acted sooner by 3 months.
I offered to settle, I offered mediation, I offered reasonable monthly support and she declined it, instead threatening I’d be left with nothing.
I’ve assumed a lot of responsibility for her for a lot of things for a long time. So I still feel responsible
