I (40M) told my wife (40F) I wanted to die. She rolled her eyes.

I’m not even surprised. She left the house soon after, leaving me with the kids. Came back an hour later and said nothing.

I feel that my entire life was stolen from me. That I’ll never have a real partner because of her.

It was great up until the wedding a decade ago. Then she just disappeared. When we had kids, she told me that I’d “made my replacements.” That was in response for me asking her not to forget about me.

I could write examples but why bother at this point. I’m just so ashamed. I came from a very abusive family and I needed love and partnership so much. In the end, I got none of what I needed. What a cruel joke.

Now I’m the bad guy a decade in because I end up yelling to be heard. But she just keeps doing whatever task she’s focused on as if I’m not there. Walks right past me.

But I’m the bad guy for yelling. I think there’s a quite lot of scream about…

TLDR: my wife doesn’t care about me and I am trapped.
