Why would she be greatful that she got himself something that she actively doesn't want? I think she'd rather he gave it away and got her nothing, than get this appliance which uses up space and she has no need or want for. But you're acting like this is some kind of gotcha.
And it matters because after 38 years with someone, you should be able to realize how that sort of pettiness is worse than not appreciating a gift that someone actively doesn't want. It's not like she doesn't appreciate the effort, she does and told him that. But there's no need for him to get pissy that she doesn't want the gift itself.
…this whole conversation started by you saying you DONT want that. That’s what is going on here. The original situation is a woman asking normal conversation questions and you saying you would feel interrogated and attacked by that. That is the conversation at hand. We are simply saying that we appreciate conversation and courtesy from our partners.
It's entirely plausible that your kids picked up on your resentment over the years, more so as they grew up, making this 11 years completely pointless. Divorce is not the worst thing in the world; as long as parents put their children first and are able to coparent successfully, divorce can be a good thing. You've already wasted eleven years of your life -and hers-, stop beating a dead horse. Her “panic attacks” may just be manipulation tactics. I think both of you made a mistake by staying together, since I highly doubt your wife wasn't able to surmise that you pretty much hated her all this time. Staying together was less of a hassle for her as well, I imagine. Just… just get it over with, dude.
You can't live with someone and expect to have days of alone time. If you want to on-line with her you need to find other ways to recharge. Like going for a walk alone. Or going to the gym. Something that can help you recharge in a few hours instead of days
Time to end. You are not willing to change what you do that makes him uncomfortable. He is free to do whatever he likes, just like you, but you don't like that. Sorry, just not buying that you dress in outfits you yourself call sexy but you aren't doing it for the attention. If that were the case, you'd just wear sexy outfits around the house and blue jeans and sweatshirts when you go out. He has called your bluff, but you want to control the situation. He hasn't told you that you cannot go out, or what you are allowed to wear. You are free to do as you please. Well, so is he. This will just escalate because you two are too hardheaded to compromise. Might as well just end it now.
You’re not into him and I don’t blame you. There are several red flags in what you wrote. End things with him. You don’t owe him any reason other than “this isn’t working for me.”
He sounds very insecure and needy. Don’t leave things open (like agreeing to be “friends” or staying in touch). Though it might go against all of your instincts, do not worry about being “nice” or feeling like you owe him additional conversations so he can get “closure.” Move on and don’t look back.
That is a hard no….and for personal boundaries, her having him as a casual friend would also be a no. Doesn't anyone read all these disasters on Reddit?? lol
Maybe unstable was the wrong word – that was meant in terms of what you described and the mention of BPD (they may not be unstable at all in their own lives).
You mention ADHD. I guess another possibility is how neurodivergence can play into connection, if that applies (and who wants to be vanilla anyway).
Honey move on to a better situation. There’s plenty of men you won’t have to share with D. Even if he’s really just hanging out with her, you’ve expressed your discomfort and he’s chosen to ignore it. Find someone who will choose you. You deserve better.
If you change, sometimes you go different paths than other people. Never forget that.

The way to react to this type of criticism is to immediately break up with him.
Maybe unstable was the wrong word – that was meant in terms of what you described and the mention of BPD (they may not be unstable at all in their own lives).
You mention ADHD. I guess another possibility is how neurodivergence can play into connection, if that applies (and who wants to be vanilla anyway).
Stop drinking for him. Get sober for him.
Yes and yes
