And for the first time that I can remember accepted responsibility for mistakes she made that whittled away at my psyche.<\/p>\n<p>The summary of it was that I couldn&#8217;t trust her. Years of her telling me one thing and doing another meant that I don&#8217;t just prepare for failure but expect it.

As my wife, she should be a strong factor towards why I should stay but at this point it is not.<\/p>\n<p>I suppose I should delight in the little victories, but I still feel the urge to disappear; still feel the urge to pursue a hollow dream but thankfully less now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I almost lost my cool a few times this evening.
