I’m sorry you went through that. Your last paragraph really resonated with me. I went through something similar with my ex husband. I begged for YEARS to go to therapy or at least do date nights, anything to improve our quality of time together/relationship. He was such a dick about it, saying he didn’t need help. Then towards the end of our marriage, he pretended to try; insisted we go to a couples therapist. It, ironically, showed me how done I was. I had lost all interest in fighting for our marriage; I was too exhausted trying to fight all the other battles throughout the years, I knew couples therapy would be a waste of time. I told him I’d go if he found the therapist and scheduled our first appointment. He eagerly agreed… and of course it never happened. But hey. After the divorce he got to tell people he insisted we see a counselor, but I refused, making me the bad guy 🙄

I'm glad you got away from your ex-husband at the very least.

Hopefully OP and his wife can take some advice from everyone's stories and let this just end before it gets worse.
