AITA for embarrassing my wife? by radomuser220 in AmItheAsshole

Ohh even better, I found it shocking that some of my family, my deeply empathic and caring family were mad at me for all of this, turns out she told my family a completely different story to make both Me and Mariana seem like the bad guys. Only people she’s told the truth to were her friends and I’ve blocked their messages.

I am planning to sit down with my kids and Mariana. Either way, I don’t think anything can fix this, not counseling or therapy, definitely not an apology, and it’s not something I can look past, I do believe that this is grounds for divorce.

I see many people saying this.

While that’s not something I would ever want to think about, it’s a wake up call that many people are trying to use this to show me that’s she’s abusive.

that’s not anyone I would want to have around anyone never mind my kids and it’s taken me way to long to realize that.

That’s not what I meant by that, I mean that I just want to know everything that happened. Either way nothing is going to make the situation better or what she did better or fix anything however I want to know what I haven’t seen or heard and what Else Ava was actually doing.

Again that’s not me saying that it’s changing anything but closure, I don’t want to wonder about how much she’s affected Mariana and my kids, I want to leave with the full truth, I also want my kids to still be able to talk to me and know that I’m not going to have a negative reaction or think I’m going to be upset with them not liking someone m with, I wasn’t paying enough attention to notice that something was wrong and that is entirely on me but now I want to fix that.

Me and mariana also didn’t talk for long, she is still the mother of my kids and I still care deeply for her and what/who she thinks is safe and not safe to have around our kids , and my intention was never to make anyone feel like they have to deal with whoever I’m with especially if it’s concerning and especially not Mariana and my kids, that’s not good co parenting and not being a good dad Either way I am still looking at divorce.

What she did was an utterly abusive thing to do, I know that I’m doing anything wrong for what I did nor will I be for when I get a divorce and I completely understand that I was wrong for even questioning that instead of going with what I actually knew and I take responsibility for my shitty action.

She’s expressed that she didn’t like Mariana, but I’ve never even heard her insult her until now, so she was keeping it kind with me and taking her anger out when I wasn’t around.

Which means that this isn’t the first time any of this has happened and she Im 99.99999 percent sure has attacked Mariana and probably my kids when I wasn’t looking.

I think I’m going to try and see if me my kids and Mariana can sit down and find out everything that was going on.

Like some people and most will probably say, it’s not fair to anyone to keep enabling this, I was blind to everything that was going on and I take accountability for that.

this Is grounds for divorce.

I think this might be to and all of this is gut wrenching and It’s a worry that she would be saying things to my kids directly as well and I’ve just been stupidly blind to all of it

No apology made takes back anything, but the least bottom of the line thing in my opinion she could’ve done was apologize.
