I believe they call this "play stupid games, win stupid prizes"

"He needs to learn that my body is mine and mine alone"
She's going to learn that his wallet is his and his alone

That characterization of "earn" that gets under my skin. You can't weaponize affection and think it's going to be ok.

That is marriage under false pretences and emotional and mental abuse. There is no choice. File divorce.

God forbid the man you married shows his love for you. So many people would kill for that shit

"Nothings wrong with me, So it must be the universe thats wrong"---- Dr Beverly Crusher

She did her job, she wanted him to learn and grow! He did exactly like that!! He learned she is not the one and is going to grow from leaving her

I banned bank account access for 30 days

Hard to get becomes hard to want quickly.

"I wanted total control of our relationship.  He gave me autonomy.  "

When a woman ever parts her lips to say "no intimacy" or tries gaslights about "oppression and consent" just look her dead in the eyes and tell her that since she doesn't want your touch or affection then she doesn't need your money or place to live on his dime. Leave that same day or week and take everything you paid for with you.

What's funny is I know plenty of women who are upset there husband doesn't hug/kiss/touch them

File for divorce the same day.

This woman is insane. Even at the end she still believes the waiting period was fine.

The way Michael approached the issue? He's the GOAT.

Professional Validation? She wants an echo chamber of her toxic standards.

She didn't want partnership she wanted Ownership

"Thirty days wasn't that long to wait."  But it wasn't thirty days.  She was intending to tack on another two weeks, just to drive the point home.  And probably two weeks after that.  And another two.  And...

Well independent strong woman got what she wanted - independence........

Wow what a horrible person instead of better trying to understand her husband she just assumes it's out of character and that he has a mental disorder
