My wife and I are heading toward a divorce, barely three months into our marriage.
I admit I am part of the problem, but she is too. The main issue sounds small, but it has escalated badly. I often break bread with my hands instead of slicing it with a bread knife. She says seeing broken bread makes her feel sick and lose her appetite.
Whenever she comes home and notices I have broken the bread by hand, she reacts very angrily. I try to remember to slice it properly, but I often forget. She even placed the bread knife next to the bread to help me, yet I still make the mistake. Sometimes I try to fix it afterward so she won’t notice, but she always does.
Her reactions frustrate me, and I sometimes talk back. During one argument, she asked for a divorce. I thought she was joking until she went to the district office to begin the process. She is serious. I have tried to talk to her, but she says she cannot tolerate me anymore.
Our marriage is not even four months old. She is the woman I want to be with. I know I have habits to change, and I am willing to work on them. We also argue about other things, like cleaning my feet before getting into bed and not leaving dishes on the table. I struggle to keep up with her standards, and when she keeps correcting me, I react.
She has told me to involve any family member I want, but says the decision is final.
