So, really, you should agree that a joint account of all post marriage money should be done because it will make the financial aspect of divorce easier! There's your pro.

If there's no pre-nup involved then yea, you're right. Pre-marriage money doesn't automatically become commingled once you get married if you continue to use that same separated account though, there are time frames involved.
But I was arguing as if everyone who had joint accounts would automatically join all their pre-marriage assets into the new joint accounts straight away, which I think is a fair assumption as a common practice. Like I said, I was doing a bad job of explaining my stance.

My wife had this big fucking breakdown a couple of days ago. She wanted to quit her job, at the school my kids go to, and pull them out of it. I was like no wtf. She was stressed out between them changing her classes and one of our daughters having behavior issues, so she just lost it and had a breakdown. I waited until yesterday and tried to have a talk with her about getting into therapy, about how she needs to learn how to cope with stress because she can't go pulling our kids out of school because she had a bad week or some shit. I don't know, she wasn't having it, I'm trying to talk to her and she's just like watching tv not giving a fuck. I'm sick of this shit bros, I'm sick of my kids asking me "what's wrong with mommy" or "why is mommy crying" or "why isn't mommy here" when we go places. But I don't know how to get her to give a fuck about trying to improve her shit.

maybe she's trying to badger you into divorcing her so she can act out a guilt fantasy. the female mind is a horrible place, no mental illness required

That sucks man. She obviously needs some help. Does she have any family members you can talk to? Perhaps she needs to hear this from someone other than you. Or you could just lay it all out for her. Saying what it's doing to your family and what will happen if things do not change.

Chaos it sounds like you don't have much you can do if she doesn't accept you trying to help. Have you tried talking to her family (if she's close with them)? If this happened to my wife I'd probably talk to her mother, they're extremely close. Good on you for trying to keep things positive for your kids though.
I'll never understand the female brain or the rationale behind their decisions. My wife quit a job once because she got written up for insubordination, which she admitted actually happened for real. She quit because she felt insulted. That was a fun week in the noodle house.

Is she also leaving the house for hours at a time and you don't know where she is? Or when you leave win the kids when you come back is she gone? Is she overly protective of her cell phone more then usual? You don't need to snoop or anything just basic stuff like she always turns if off when you might walk past and see the screen. She use to leave it sitting anywhere but now it's never away from her. Stuff like that?
I hope it's just a mid life crisis.

It doesn't sound at all like his wife is stepping out on him. That would probably be better. It sounds like she's circling the drain. The problem with that is that she'll keep circling forever. And she can't. She has children. But she will anyway.
Your daughter comes by it honestly, I think, Chaos.
I guess life just isn't what she thought it would be? IIRC Chaos actually did manage to get her to go to a shrink. And like a lot of shrinks, he's just really no fucking help at all. This is why it's such quackery bullshit, the ones who want to treat housewives. They want to be priests and philosophers with a prescription pad.
When someone gets better it's yay science. When someone fails to respond it's there's a different pill we can try.
Edit: And noodle, that's not really a woman thing. Lol. I've quit a job before because they wrote me up. And I even admitted to them that I deserved to be written up, but fuck them. It wasn't the critisism or the corrective measure it was thescoldingthat they tried to give me. That's just generally a "you are a bunch of fucking dipshits and I don't -have- to work here" thing. And I didn't. Apparently neither did your wife. #team2cool4skool It's an arrogance thing, I guess. But is it arrogant if you're right?

If you're not all in then you shouldn't get married. If you're planning for the divorce before you get married then your marriage isn't going to work anyway.

Haha ok bros. Be diligent and smart about everything in your lives except for love. Because god forbid you do anything reasonable or logical when marriage is on the table.
Keep pretending the world is a Disney movie.

For some folks it is. But I think taking a step back and going in with 'hope for the best, prepare for the worst' could save people a lot of heartache on the other end of failed marriages, which is more than half of them these days.

The Myth of the High Rate of Divorce | Psych Central
Thus, we reach an even more dramatic conclusion: That for college educated women who marry after the age of 25 and have established an independent source of income, the divorce rate is only 20 percent!
