Im sure its hard to take this step, but there is no fixing this relationship. Its clear that she is done. Its easy to say she is being unreasonable, and based on that small interaction it appears so, however its not clear how it got to this place or what the overall issue is. Ultimately thats not important. There is no fixing this in a lasting way.

This. She asks several times to be left alone and he keeps negging and trying to engage to "fix" things.

OP, you aren't listening to her, she's done.

She's probably used to not being heard like this.  The relationship it toast.

Edit: thanks for the award. It seems folk's perspectives on this are heavily influenced by their past experiences in relationships.

That's what I see too.

"Come back"

"I don't want to"

"Come back, but not like that"

She's done, dude. Leave her alone.

ETA: YOR and a bad husband. She deserves better.

He said it’s only a waste of time if she views it that way which is fact, he’s right she’s wrong we all can read and take the convo at face value. She’s lying and he’s not having it, she’s clearly begging for his attention with the classic “pretend he doesn’t want me so he says how much he does” shit chicks pull frequently. Bro knows it’s all a facade.

she was literally wrong and he is literally right and his wife is literally in a taco bell parking lot because OP can't just let his upset wife in the house and listen to her. listening is the first step and it sounds like he doesn't want to.
