Divorced Redditors: what went wrong in your marriage?

Yes, I have told her that. I told her it is very disrespectful to me to make those assumptions about me and it throws into my face all of the nice things I have done and said. It is like saying that she doesn't care about anything good from our relationship because she is hyperfocusing on an imaginary scenario that is clearly unrealistic. That she would rather feel a temporary solace from an idea that I am going to or trying to cheat rather than take comfort and security from how devoted, loving, and loyal I have been to her all this time.

She said that when other women check me out, I don't pull her closer (and/or kiss her) to assert that I am with her. Dammit...I do it ALLLLL the time. All the damn time.

But, yes, that's why I get angry after so many of these episodes: it is absurdly insulting to me. I can only handle so many before it makes me too angry to tolerate it anymore then I yell at her about how ridiculous she is, how crazy she is acting, etc. A couple of times, I think I went too far because I said, "What the HELL is wrong with you?"

Also, all the signs are there that something bad happened to her when she was a child (that she was raped by someone she trusted) but she says it never happened and she even took a step further and said she wasn't sexually abused, either. She said she has always been like this (ridiculously insecure) and that I just so happen to be the only one that has gotten her to love back in a relationship (it is because I am ridiculously over the top...this is how I am and this is why I think women cheat on me: because there is no game once I am in love because I am 100% devoted. I don't even have moments where "I'm not feeling it" like it seems every other man has).

Anyway, sorry for the long message. You just happened to say a few things that are very poignant or things I have deeply thought about.
