Your self-esteem is in the dumps because she is overly critical… But I don't think she's intentionally trying to put you down. It will take a lot of work on her part to change that part of her but the first step alone is difficult– getting her to agree that she has issues. And even with that people can't change overnight and some can't change at all.
We both come from same background, we both like tattoo (she has one but wants another one and I'm thinking of getting one myself), we both enjoy listening to music, we both play instruments (me guitar, her violin and piano), and we enjoy talking about our favorite show together and talk shit about horror movie.
Grounds for divorce? … Grounds for prison and a Netflix documentary.
I am sorry you're going through this right now. What a shocking experience to hear someone go through.
Please keep safe.

You ended a relationship with someone you spent a third of your life with. That is a big deal.
