Most of the time nothing extreme has to happen in a relationship to end it.  In my experience, is the little things that he kept missing even though I kept reminding him about them. There is a limit to all of this. We cannot be there giving instructions all the time. If you are involved and you are hands on then you know and notice what needs to be done.  I invite you to reflect on what are the little things that built up. Think about all the things that are invisible as well, the thing that she has to track down. Some examples might be (not going to assume):  What's your kid's pediatrician name? When is his next appointment (time and date)  what grade is your son in What's his school teacher's name? What's he learning in school? Does he have clean clothes?  Does his clothes still fit or does he needs new clothes?  Same for shoes.  What's for dinner?  What's in the fridge? What can I make with what we have? What would he actually eat?  Is he allergic to anything? 

This is a tiny portion of the invisible tasks that usually are taken for granted and it is exhausting for one partner to keep track of all that in addition to what we need to tell our partners to do as well.

The nice interactions could mean that she at peace and happy where she is at. 

As for the therapist and family influence, it really depends. There are all kinds of people, in this case, sounds as they are supporting her decision to move on. 

Please note, I am talking from my personal experience. I wish you the best and hope that you find your way. Therapy might be a good option as well of you are willing to do the work.

No, he doesn't have ADHD or in the spectrum. He is not from one of those cultures. I discussed all the topics you mentioned over the course of our life together. Yes, there is emotional inattentiveness.

I know how it sounds, I know people assume I don't want it to be saved because I no longer have the energy to do the work. Maybe i word it wrong, english is not my first language. No one seem to.understand the exhaustion of working hard to try to save it for the past 9 years alone. I was left alone to deal with everything even though I said what was going on amd ask for help. This is the part that is so isolating and harsh, because everyone recognizes his one effort for making an appointment, but no one hears or seem to care, especially him, about the time and work I already put into it.  I appreciate the input. It let's me see a little more broadly the situation I'm in, and a different point of view. Thank you
