We are separating thanks to a multitude of issues over the years that have left our marriage dead in the water. Fault on both sides, but only one side can admit that they aren't perfect and have contributed to the breakdown.
One of the (many) reasons we are getting divorced is that he believes himself to be too superior to have to think about family stuff, or carry any of it out. He has been detached from pretty much anything family related, does nothing, with the children etc etc. The way he sees it, his job is to bring in money/do DIY, mine is (literally) everything else. This wasn't a mutually agreed way of life, it has crept up and smothered me unannounced. I used to be independent and professional, and made more than him when we met. So literally, everything left to me. If he has to make a call to the bank, I have to get out the papers from the file and lay them in front of him so all he has to do is dial the number and speak. He's that bad! But doesn't see it at all. Thinks this is normal adult male stuff.
Today was the pinnacle of shitness, but the circumstances made me laugh and I wanted to share it. We are unfortunately stuck living in the same house until he gets somewhere else, and we were discussing/arguing about whether to go for two years separation or unreasonable behaviour for divorce. He first told me I needed to research it all and bring him the pros and cons so he can make a decision. I explained the key issues (no legally binding financial agreement if he wins the lottery etc) and he decided that maybe unreasonable behaviour was the way to go, but that he wouldn't have anything bad said about himself. I said I was okay with being the unreasonable one so he could divorce me. He told me to get the paperwork filled out for him and he'd sign it.
WTF? He wants me to divorce myself on his behalf, because he is too important and lazy to look into it or fill out the forms. He has the most lacking sense of self-awareness of any human I have ever met.
