Lol yes. I left my ex after years of living in a loveless marriage- dead bedroom, His rage, screaming at our children- to the point where I thought CPS could get involved. Finally left him.. then he broke into my house when I was gone, would leave creepy notes. Would drive by and just lay on the horn. Stuck gum on my car. Would threaten to beat my boyfriends ass and make fun of my boyfriends dead father. Ended in me getting a restraining order on him.. but he told everyone I was a narcissist. Comical.

Hey this is happening to me in real time. Never thought a marriage can just die like that, but it can! 20 years of marriage and we're basically roommates (for the kids kind of bs). I found that the inner unhappiness becomes outer rage often (not me). Same happened with my parents. Dad was a straight up mean asshole when they were still married and a few years afterwards. He then just mellowed out completely when we all grew up and left.  Anyhoo, at least my wife is just a control freak who was used to always getting her way and not like your ex. Who knows where this will end up.
