I have an ex-wife. Incredible lady in many ways, but some definite incompatibility issues. But two things really stand out as problems:

1.) Nobody is as important as her dog

2.) She felt guilty and then angry if someone made her happy or caused her to feel pleasure, because religion.

And as a bonus:

3.) My distinct lack of patience at being treated like #3 after a spoiled dog and an invisible fantasy man in the sky.

I have no animosity toward this woman, she didn't ruin my life or take anything from me. I loved her more than anything, but I was just someone she kept around to take care of the house and yard.
